I've had to be very strict with myself here because there are so many works I've read more than once. I didn't think that anyone would be interested in the fact that I've read most of Shakespeare's plays at least two or three times, sometimes for pleasure, sometimes for study. There are some works I've read more than once but not necessarily voluntarily. All those I've excluded from my contributions. I've also excluded works I have read more than once but probably wouldn't read again. On the other hand, my first dozen or so votes are for favourite reads.
I buy lots of books but try to limit myself to ones I know I will read again and again. I recently took a count and have about 300 books and have read most of them more than once. Several I have read 5 to 7 times like Penmarric. Ooops I forgot Devil Water..about five times. I usually write the date in hte front flap of the book when I read it.

Think its great you have read Shakespeare that many times.
Almost every book that I've liked I've read about a hundred times. I can't help myself--even after I've practically memorized it, I keep going back. Pathetic, I know, but that's just me.
