What novel(s) do you read over and over?

[Superman116]

Mine is The Art of Racing in the Rain. That book is so touching and amazing. Seeing the lives of the family through the eyes of Enzo their dog, and nobody ever truly knowing how smart, loving, and understanding Enzo is. How he wants to tell Denny about his wife's tumor, how bad He wants to be human, how he is human on the inside.

I could go on and on but don't wanna give to much away. Amazing, touching novel.ðŸ‘

[Machete]

Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami, and Memorias De Mi Putas Tristes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

[Gainsdalf the Whey]

There are a few:

 

Ender's Game- read 4-5 times

Lord of the Rings series- read 4 times

Song of Ice and Fire- reread the entire series each time a new book comes out, so more time the earlier the book is in the series

[Random Chic]

Kushiel's Legacy, a 9 book series by Jacqueline Carey   It's awesome, intelligent fantasy alternative history with steamy sex scenes thrown in.  What's not to love?  

 

I've read the LOTR trilogy a bunch of times over the years. I find I speak more eloquently when I've been reading those.

 

I also love Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.. so many layers there, it's worth re-reading.  Same with the Frank L. Baum Wizard of Oz books.  A lot of the stories I love most are considered children's literature.  Not a novel but I love Hans Christian Anderson's faery tale stories and could read them over and over.   

[Raxie]

Endymion/Rise of Endymion from the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simon.  So good!

 

Also I was the exact age of Harry Potter when each book came out (back in the beginning when one came out each year) so I reread all the previous books right before the next one came out.  Man that seems like forever ago now.  

 

I've also read Speaker for the Dead (second book in the Ender series) about 4 times.  It's my favorite from the series.

 

And A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood I've read a few times for pleasure and then for school.  

 

I'm sure there are more but those are the ones that really stick out in my head.

[Drgnslyr1992]

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Chronicle's Trilogy and Glen Cook's Black Company books (ALL of them)

[maxrunner83]

I would have to say the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.   I love the world he created with that series of books.  It also has a lot of characters form his other books show up in this series.  Very interesting, engaging, and a must read IMO.

[Fonzico]

I'm with Random Chick, most of my all time favorites are from children's lit, including the Harry Potter series, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. 

 

My all-time favorite author is Robin McKinley, and I reread most of her books every couple years. My copy of the Blue Sword is falling apart, it has been so well-loved

 

I've only read through the Ender's Game series (and I think there's a couple later ones I haven't got to yet) once, but I should really go back - they are some of the best written, most intelligent books I've ever read, for sure. 

[bgvanbur]

Slaughterhouse Five is the only novel I read more than once (I think I have read it around 5 times now).

[citizenkade]

Lord of the Rings every 5 years, and the Dresden Files books. I think Mistborn is going to rotate through soon, too!

[Superman116]

Wow some if these books that I haven't already read sound great. I think I'm going to be taking a trip to the library or maybe to my kindle store

[Basement Cat]

The Count of Monte Cristo every other year or so. Also the Phantom of the Opera (original French by Gaston Leroux). Both great stories with plenty of intrigue and exploration of the dark side of humanity. It's kinda my thing.

[Raxie]

Ah <3 The Count of Monte Cristo.  I read that one more than once as well -- the first time was for school and was the abridged version.  The second time was for myself and was the real version.

[Carlee]

There are a few for me.

 

Basically anything written by Robin Mckinley, and I'm glad to see a fellow fan in Fonzico!

 

Ender's Game, like so many of you here.

 

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. I really would like to read other Stephenson books, and I own most of them, but every time that I think to pick up another one, I end up rereading Snow Crash instead.

 

Lastly is my favorite book of all: Everything is Illuminated by Johnathan Safran Foer. Even though it is my favorite, I end up reading this book far less often than the other books on my list because it always evokes a very emotional reaction from me, and it takes a good deal of fortitude for me to reread it each time. I'm sort of a literary theory geek, so everything that this book has to say about language and communication and art speaks to my soul and everything that I love. I also love how light it starts, and them how, by the end, you get that deep empty pit in your stomach that signifies that you've read an amazing book.

[KnitJoy]

I reread Wayfarer Redemption and The Troy Game, both by Sara Douglass, those were my first forays into fantasy books. I also tend to reread The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop and anything by Jennifer Fallon, although especially her Hyruthian Chronicles.

[alice.x]

anything by stephen king, harry potter, and a spot of bother by mark haddon are the ones i can't seem to escape! misery by stephen king is probably the book i've read the most times, must be nearly double figures now!

[DChristian]

American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

[Wondertje]

Lord of the Rings is a series that I genuinely enjoy reading over and over. I read the series, probably about once a year, around Christmas. After which I of course go watch all the films. I also tend to go back to reading Harry Potter, and have now read the series all through probably 6 times or more. Some of the books definitely more. I read the first HP book when I was 9-10, and the last when I was 16, so it's a story that really grew with me during my childhood and teenage years.

 

Last but definitely not least, one of my very favourite books ever, is a children's book; Kingdom by the Sea, written by Robert Westall.

[Sambalina]

I would have to say the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.   I love the world he created with that series of books.  It also has a lot of characters form his other books show up in this series.  Very interesting, engaging, and a must read IMO.

 Me too. I've read the whole series maybe 3 times now. Also, 'The Stand' by Stephen King a number of times, along with 'Rose Madder' maybe 4 times. Not 'Pet Semsatary' though.... that book creeped me out in an horrible way.

[Carabas]

For me its "Kafka on the shore" by Haruki Murakami, "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman, " Thief of Time" by Terry Pratchett ( am I really the only Discworld fan in this threat?), and when i'm in the mood for an easy to read thriller without much emotional depth i like to read the Pendergast series by Preston & Child

[Leithient]

I'm going to write the original title (in Spanish): La voluntad (by Antonio Azorín). I've read it every year since 2006.

I've also read a couple of times Ulysses (by James Joyce) and some Lovecraft's stories.

[Lady Eleventy]

The Green Rider series and The Hobbit mainly. I also read Lotr every now and then and Rick Riordan

[The Beard]

I try to read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit once a year and the Silmarillion every other year. I also really enjoy the Star Wars Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn.

[whipsmile]

Mine is The Art of Racing in the Rain. That book is so touching and amazing. Seeing the lives of the family through the eyes of Enzo their dog, and nobody ever truly knowing how smart, loving, and understanding Enzo is. How he wants to tell Denny about his wife's tumor, how bad He wants to be human, how he is human on the inside.

I could go on and on but don't wanna give to much away. Amazing, touching novel.

 

That novel was amazing. I have two dogs and my husband is a racing FANATIC, so I was drawn in immediately.

I couldn't put it down.

[whipsmile]

I don't tend to re-read books as my list of books to read is ever growing.

 

That being said, I've reread most Harry Potter books, Little Women and Good Omens a couple of times.
