What books do you read over and over again?

[Peach]

I've lost count of the number of times, that I've read these books:

A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
A Year in Provence - Peter Mayle
Neither here nor there - Bill Bryson

Are there any books that you keep going back to?

[SOC]

The Hitchhikers "trilogy" - Douglas Adams

[Scythe]

* The Lord of the Rings (of course)
* "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli
* The whole Lankhmar series, by Fritz Leiber
* A bunch of the Discworld novels, by Terry Pratchett
* The Wheel of Time novels by Robert Jordan (I just wish he'd finish the bloody series)

[dozer]

most of milan kundera, currently back on 'testament betrayed'

the dude knows his shit

[Enos]

All of Iain Banks' stuff

[annie]

i hardly ever read singluar books now, i'm always starting a new series or trilogy, but i read Lord of the Rings and Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles about twice a year each...

i have no life apart from my precious books

[quartz_donkey]

The Hitchhikers "trilogy" - Douglas Adams
Same read it three times this year already.

[flow]

Hmm.. strange. I've never re-read a book ever. I've got shitloads of books and I've never re-read. I tried with Magician (Raymond Feist) and I couldn't. Even after 10 years I still knew what was going to happen...

For Sale: 100 DVD movies

:)

[Fuzzy Dice]

I usually reread any book i buy at least once, but I keep rereading starship troopers, by robert heinlein.

[cub]

Penthouse, Playboy and Hustler.

[Aardvark]

The discworld series. Between me and my sister, we've got the whole thing up to now. Every so often, I start at colour of magic and go all the way to the end.

Catch 22. It's comedy in a bucket. Fuckit

The Bible. Thanks to crippling toilet paper shortages, the Good Book has saved my arse on many occasions. Praise the Lord!

Once I was on holidays up at foster. That place gets really boring the fifteenth time you've been. I had no money and one book. Doom: Endgame. Someone wrote a book series based on Doom. Read Endgame no less than twentyseven times that week

[ersatz]

Starship Troopers
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
Philip K Dick short stories
Titan by Stephen Baxter (where's my fucking softscreen?!?)

[Talken]

I have the problem that i'll read my books set them down then the go missing. But the ones im rereading right now are. The hitchhickers guide collection, The Johnny The Homicidal Maniac Collection (By jhonnen vanquez the guy who made zim the invader) And of course Queen of the damned,The vampire lestat,Interview with a vampire, and the vampire armond.

Do comic books count? Books are a little long to warrant too many re-readings, but a good comic can be done in a day or so.

- Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
- Batman: Year One
- Kingdom Come
- Superman for All Seasons

[Chrissy]

All of Iain Banks' stuff

I love The Wasp Factory.

I re-read a lot of Bret Easton Ellis' stuff, especially American Psycho. I never get bored of the sick, mindless violence.

I have never been able to read any of the Lord Of The Rings books. I have tried and tried but I can never get past the first few pages. Weird.

[MadSkunkBurna']

Ender's Game (and rest of series) by Orson Scott Card
Contact by Carl Sagan
Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

All of Douglas Adams' stuff

[Something Fast]

Brian Lumley - Necroscope series (all 13 books)

I got "Illegal Aliens" by Nick Polotta and Phil Foglio when I was about 11 and I'm STILL rereading it now. It's an overlooked classic.

[Buffy]

Most of Raymond Feist's stuff, particularly Magician. For me, reading Magician again is like settling into a big fluffy doona on your bed as a thunderstorm rages outside. :P
werd to that.
magician was the first fantasy book i ever read as a wee lass in primary school, and I still love it.

Dude you need to read faster ;)

[Thyraeus]

Danny the Champion of the World

I am with MaJeztik (its a R. Dahl) - But this book is a standout - everytime I read it (and it has been over 22 yrs since I first read it) it gets better - A must read for all men before they die.

[Glompbot]

All my sheri s tepper books, and the riftwar saga by raymond e feist.
Also my terry pratchett books.

George Orwell - 1984

My other favourites are:

Boy
Going Solo
James & the Giant Peach
Matilda

[RedMaN]
