I am always chasing my next favorite novel so it is extremely difficult for me to say I want to re-read something. However, there is one series I have read multiple times and probably will continue to do so, Harry Potter Boxset.

So, what's yours?

Michelle (nanlewis) | 156 comments I read The Name of the Rose when I was about 15, and liked it but was confused at parts. I think I probably picked it up because the movie was coming out with Sean Connery and Christian Slater (who I thought was just dreamy). I reread it again about 15 years later when I guess my understanding and brain had 'matured', understood the story just fine, and really loved it. Maybe I should read it on a 15-year cycle, in which case I'd better get moving!!
lol

Scarlet Cameo (scarlet_cameo) When I was 14 read The Stress of Her Regard, really liked but i don't remember if i finished (maybe i did but i don't remember the end and that kills me a little because the history was so engaging that, maybe, if i re-read now my perception changed completely (maybe will pass of liking to love it)

Michelle (nanlewis) | 156 comments Samzara, I checked that out from the library within the last year. I obviously thought it looked good, but sometimes it just happens, you don't get to it then have to turn it back in. Gotta keep it on the list!

Phantom by Susan Kay (first copy started to fall apart), Charlotte's Web, Harry Potter Series (had to end up getting hb and paperback of these). I guess I need the digital HP books.
The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart.. I know there are more. I like rereading books. It is like visiting an old friend and being welcome and comfy.

And I am very careful with my books. When I buy them I dig through the entire pile to find the most perfect one. I Don't mind used or old books, though. Just one of those things.

I love used book stores. Who wants to pay $30 for a hardback book? It's almost ritualistic to dig through and find the one you really want to take home.
