Which books have you read multiple times?
I've only read 2 books multiple times. I read Catcher In The Rye twice, and now I'm reading The Giver for the third time. I want to re-read The Sound And The Fury.
|
Election, Tom Perrotta
I actually think that's the only novel that I've read more than once. :o |
Aside from "The Far Side" and "Bloom County" collections, Catcher in the Rye, A Farewell to Arms, Holidays on Ice (David Sedaris), Parliament of Whores (P.J. O'Rourke)
I've listened to a couple of David Sedaris' books on CD multiple times. |
I've read The Hobbit numerous times. It was the first book I fell in love with as a kid.
|
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Kurt Vonnegut's pre 1975 books. Water Music by T.C. Boyle. All of Raymond Chandler and Ross MacDonald. John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee books.
|
John Berendt's Midnight In the Garden of Good & Evil, Wuthering Heights, and Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon.
|
The Phantom Tollbooth and Catcher in the Rye
|
Stranger in a Strange Land
Youth in Revolt Replay Phantom Tollbooth (once with my boy, so sharing with him is a little different from just rereading it on my own) D'auliare's Greek Myths Probably a couple more Heinlein or Asimov books. |
Aside from the books I teach, the only ones I've read multiple times are The Road, Blackhawk Down, Be True to Your School, and The Princess Bride.

0 but I want to go back and read The Jungle again.

Pride and Prejudice is pretty much the only book I can think of having read several times due to my own choice (I'm assuming you mean novels--I've read several poetry books over and over). I've reread some books for classes, and other books aloud to my kids, but I'm not counting those.
|
Lots, I read pretty quick.
Right now, I'm re-reading the Earth's Children series for about the fifth time. |
Golden Torc and Intervention series by Julian May. Love those
Dune LOTR & Hobbit The Stand - Stephen King Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand Sonja Blue series - Nancy Collins All twice, I'm sure there are others. |
LOTR/Hobbit
most Crichton books a bunch of horror encyclopedias The Bible |
I can't think of any book since I was little that I've re-read. Back in the day I read my Judy Blume's over and over, but there are too many new books I want read for me to revisit any now.
|
Dune series (I think I've gone 3 or 4 with those)
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (5 or 6 times) Salem's Lot and The Stand (Stephen King) 1984 Catch-22 A Clockwork Orange Ender's Game I'm sure there are others, but none are leaping to mind right now. |
