Books that you like to read over and over

[mvd]

For me, it's the Harry Potter series. I re-read the series a couple times a year. Besides being a big fan, each time feels like a fresh experience. And I even catch stuff I never caught before or remembered.

1. A Confederacy of Dunces...

Catch-22
Hitchhikers Guide (entire set)

I re-read these every few years.

Wrinkle in Time
The Devil Wore Prada - I love all the clothing descriptions

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Tales of the City series

[Lochloosa]

8. The Foundation Trilogy. The Godfather

[niyad]

9. Jane Austen's books. Harry Potter, of course. Jamet Evanovich. Rhys Bowen's royal spyness series.

and others.

[Codeine]

10. I re-read stuff a lot as a kid,

but I've largely gotten out of the habit as an adult. I'm pretty sure the only thing I've read more than once in the last thirty years has been Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey/Maturin series.

[BlueSpot]

19. That's a great series

Got a little harsh at the end. I've read all of them at least twice. Some more as I waited for new ones. Loved the characters. Loved the puns. Especially loved how pleased Aubrey was with himself whenever he pulled one off.

I liked the movie too. It squashed two of the books together but the characters were largely portrayed the way I imagined them when I read the books.

12. Rick Bragg's Trilogy about his family.

Ava's Man, Prince of Frogtown.All Over But the Shouting.
He has beautiful lyrical writing.
If you don't know the South, he provides a wonderful introduction in his characters and in sayings.

Each time I got one of the above books, I gulped it down as soon as I could, then turned back to page 1 to read it again. First time for the story, 2nd time for the wonderful writing.

[PoiBoy]

13. The Millennium Trilogy...

... by Swedish author Stieg Larsson.

The Millennium Trilogy includes The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.

In addition to the story of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, I found the descriptions of the social services and constitutional protections of and for the Swedish people very informative (if true), and the contrasts with our supposedly "exceptional" system and sensibilities...

[mythology]

14. I have several

I often reread the Knight of the Word series, The Westing Game, pretty much anything by Ed Brubaker.

[musicblind]

15. The Neverending Story

By Michael Ende

[Glorfindel]

16. All of the Hobbit and Lord of the Ring books

The Winds of War and War and Remembrance by Herman Wouk, and "The Fields of Home" by Ralph Moody.

[Ron Obvious]

18. Your username was a bit of a tip-off there

But I've read LOTR somewhere between one and two dozen times myself, though not yet this century. It's time...

[Tikki]

17. Chester Anderson's...The Butterfly Kid...sci-fi (1967)

First book the Mr. And I read together... try to read it each year.

The Tikkis

[csziggy]

20. Have you read the other two in the series?

Michael Kurland - The Unicorn Girl
T.A. Waters - The Probability Pad

My copies are packed away - I should dig them out and re-read them. It's been way too long since the last time.

[Tikki]

21. YES...

Amazing writing during those times.
