and over again? Please, not the Bible. I'm talking works of fiction.

I've read the Swiss Family Robinson about a dozen times and will probably continue reading it over again every couple of years until the day I die.

I am currently re-reading Pride & Prejudice. I usually read it every 2 months. I love everything about it. And yet, every time I read it I always find something new about the plot.

That's another one of my favorites. I love Jane Austen!

Yes.... Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. It is a short story that can be read easily in an hour or two. It is an uplifting story and I have probably read it over 20 or so time throughout my life. Why be ordinary when you can attain perfection at something that makes you happy?

Yes..I like the book "The Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton..I know I'm all grown up now and shouldn't be reading kids' books..but this is one is a big favourite and enjoy it every single time I read it. I dunno why..but I guess the inner child in me feels satisfied:)

I still love to go back and read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books! There's nothing wrong with revisiting your childhood favorites!

I know this is going to sound weird but I have a lot of books (I mean a lot like over 500) and I have read all of them at least 5 times. I never get fed up with a book and can continue reading them again and again and again. I love Enid Blyton Books most of all. Although they are children's books, they are what gave me a love for reading and so i read them time and again.

They banned those for school at one stage which was utterly and totally ridiculous, they were harmless entertaining books and she was a great authoress. Good choice!

I don't tend to read much, well before the internet I read tonnes of books, took after my nan, but now I'm too busy on the computer etc... One book I do read again and again is Harry Potter, I know but I am a big kid at heart and just love the stories they really appeal to me, witchcraft and fantasy. The first book Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone (probably named differently in America) but that was a great book, it was an escape, just to dive into the book and escape to a world of pure fantasy.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dutchess67 (686)  6 years ago

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone over here. I love those stores as well and have gone back and re-read them so many times I've lost count. I go through them again each time a new book is coming out to immerse myself in the story so that I can really enjoy the new ones.

Thank you very much for best response, much appreciated.

Most books I only read once, but I have read and re-read "The Stand" (long version) by Stephen King, "It" also by Stephen King and also "The Godfather" (the book is better than the movie) by Mario Puzo.


myLot reputation of 77/100. Angrykitty (1015)  6 years ago

Oh, and as the mother of a child who is almost 2, I read "Goodnight moon" about twelve times a day!
:D

I personally like reading the Lord of the Rings series. I have read the whole series around 10 to 20 times now.

The only books I don't read over are ones I didn't like in the first place. But, for one particular book, I've read Little Women many times since I was a child.

I enjoy Jean M Auel, the Earth's Children series. I have read them numerous times. She has a way with words that makes you feel as if you are a part of the story.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dutchess67 (686)  6 years ago

Wow! I knew there was something that I liked about you!
I love Jean Auel! I got so into her books a few years back, right before "The Shelters of Stone" came out that I got involved in an internet group and help to organize the first actual summer meeting that was held by her fans. I've lost touch with them since as I simply don't have the time to invest in it, but I still love the books.

I even had my own web site, which I finally deleted a couple of months ago. It was the "Earths Children Web Ring"!


myLot reputation of 86/100. shywolf (3828)  6 years ago

Ooh I forgot all about that series! Her books are wonderful! Thanks for the reminder! ^_^
