What fiction book do you keep reading over and over?

I rarely read books a second time, but the 2 i have are 'The Dice Man' by Luke Rhinehart and 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card
2 good reads i think
 
I always re-read books I enjoy.

I have read 'Tomorrow when the war began' by John Marsden so many times I've lost count.

I have re-read all the Scarpetta books by Patricia Cornwell
Also Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, The Beach by Alex Garland. To name but a few.
 
I've read On the Road by Jack Kerouac 3 times and A Confederacy of Dunces by Johnathon Kennedy Toole twice.

I think they are the only books i've ever re-read
 
i can't help but read "The Shining" by Stephen King atleast once a year, also, "Great Expectations" by Dickens is another of my compulsions. I love the tragedy that is Pip. "The Long Walk" by King (originally by Bachman, i think.) is yet another haunt of mine.

No, but I'll make a note.

Love the quote in your signature peidro. I've heard it before, but its a good'un.
 
I sometimes panic, thinking life is too short to read all the books (and see all the films) I want to. When I turned 30, I started to give up on books I wasn't enjoying - until then, I'd always ploughed on regardless ... But I too re-read The Handmaid's Tale every so often, along with The Country Girls by Edna O'Brien, and Brian Moore's The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne.

Having just finished Sara Paretsky's Blacklist, I'm now re-reading another V.I.Warshawski novel, AND, after seeing the gorgeous film, I've started Girl with a Pearl Earring again!

Fat chance of that.


I re-read the Dragonrider's of Pern series yearly, minus a few of the books (like Renegades), which aren't my favorites.

Harry Potter is definitely a series I've already re-read and will definitely be reading again.

I'm sure to re-read Pratchett's books in the future, once I make it through them all this time.

Standing in the Rainbow by Fannie Flagg
 
Anne Rice books... my are in such a state.. probably due to dropping them while in the bath :eek: but I just love them!
 
Harry Potter books and the diaries of Georgia Nickelson, I love those books. Everytime I read HP books, I think of something new or find something that I didn't get before and now with the movie comming out soon, I am definately rereading them! As for the Georgia Nickelson books (by Louise Rension) I think they are so funny, just to hear some of the words that British people use, it makes me wish I lived there!! But they are good books to, you wouldn't think a girl could get herself in such embaressing situations, ok take that back because I am a girl.... but honestly they are great and I highly recommend them!
 
Hrm. If I find a book I read good, I'll read it again... so I read most of my books at least twice. Now, to ones I read over and over...

The Talisman - King and Straub
One Door Away From Heaven - Dean Koontz
Landover Series - Terry Brooks
The Client - John Grisham
Harry Potter Series - J.K. Rowling
 
Ummm, that would be The Green Mile, Stephen King :D I read it over and over, yet it's the same ending every time :rolleyes:
 
All of the Jane Austen books along with Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Michaels books and Nevada Barr. All are good for multiple readings. The Anne George "Southern Sisters" series I love to read over and over because I love the characters so much.
 
It's not a specific book that I keep reading over and over again, but a type of book. I love Southern Fiction. Most of the books that draw me in are books with quirky southern characters.
