i have read a few fiction books only for I am more into non-fiction, self-help and paranormal books. but i think i can read once again "The Hobbit" coz i so love the adventure Bilbo Baggins went thru in that story. Especially now, there will be this movie called "The Hobbit," directed by Peter Jackson, so i think i really need to refresh my memory :) so whats that fiction book you so love re-reading? :)

hello goldplanet. i like reading books. and fiction novels are on top of my list. i have reread many of my books, and i could not write them all here. but one of them is atlas shrugged by ayn rand. the first book i "consciously" reread not only twice but several times. some are books from john grisham, thomas harris, tolkien (yes, THAT tolkien), dan brown, anne rice, peter benchley, bram stoker, among others. it's not that i planned rereading them. i like them, and in some days when i got nothing else to do and nothing else to read, i pick one up from my collection and read it till the end.

I'm not a fan of books but I've already read "A Bend in the Road" by Nicholas Sparks. It's a great book but I don't plan to read it again, I just don't see the point.

I have read and reread "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" by Herman Wouk several times. I love the story of the Henry family, the historicral accuracy and the way the author brings historical characters to life.

Hi Gp ! My answer is definitely going to be "Da Vinci code". Although its regarded more as a thriller than fictional. But still, I love it.

I go for Griffin and Sabine by Nick Bantock. This graphic novel gave me goosebumps!

When I was a child, I read Jules Verne's novels by the dozen, and many of them several times. Now as an adult I re-read every now and then books that made a deep impression on me, or sometimes I just browse them and read just a few pages at a time. The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment are on top of my list, and then there's The Ides of March by Thornton Wilder and Blindness by José Saramago and I think I will soon add a novel by Palahniuk to this list

(i was supposed to post a pic of jrr tolkien, but i can't find how) the hobbit is coming as a movie.. for sure it would be a little different to the book's (just like in the lotr trilogy), but i hope it would turn out ok.
