TKAM...great book...I remember a funny story from a David Letterman show...Bruce Willis was on and commented that he and Demi's new baby was named "Scout"...Letterman said "So it's a boy."..........Willis looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, 'You don't have a single working brain-cell, do you?'

[Val]

I'll just throw The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner in the mix
It's subtle, well worded, enjoyable, developed characters & intricate world.

[Amanda]

Thornyhold by Mary Stewart, I have read it many times.

[Laura]

The Lord of the Rings series
The Deryni Series
The Belgariad & Mallorean series

[S.K.]

Good choice for the Lord of the Rings series. Thank you for the post. I will check the other ones you suggested. Happy Reading!

[Mahsa Sh]

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

[Millay]

The two books that I have re-read and will be re-reading for MANY years to come are The Lord of the Rings (duh!) and Little Women! They are just CLASSIC books that I love SO much!

[Charmayne]

Honestly, Harry Potter series. It’s so good! I have read the entire series 8 times, not including the Cursed Child, I found that one extremely bad, and the Deathly Hallows is just SO good, ngl I have read that one 16 times.

[Kyle]

I have three i read again almost every year:
-Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Counts as one!) by Tolkien
-King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by Sir Thomas Malory
-Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein

[Jay]

my cycle has expanded over the past five decades as there are too many books i reread and enjoy. each time rereading becomes slower and more delightful.
Wouks's Majorie Morningstar
Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird
Tolkien's The Hobbit and his Trilogy
Hesse's Magister Ludi
Rand's The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged
Harkness' All Soul's Trilogy
Asimov's Foundation Trilogy
Heinlin's Stranger in a Strange Land
Follett's The Pillars of the Earth
Brook's The People of the Book
Rowling's Harry Potter
Clavell's Shogun
Van Lustbader's The Ninja
there are others that's why the cycle has expanded as these are only the fiction.

[Louise]

Any of Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan books. But particularly Memory. I think I've read that one more than any of the others.

[S.K.]

Fantastic list! You gave me some to consider.

[Janna]

The Hobbit :D

[Larry]

Without a doubt the first is Dune, the next is a trilogy...Asimov's Foundation..., then David and the Phoenix, Wrinkle in Time.

[Adrian]

Jack Kerouac 'On The Road'

[C.A.]

C. A. Simonsen from Canada. I never tire of To Kill A Mockingbird. Every few years, The Lord of the Rings and A Christmas Carol.

[Dylan]

Lord of the Rings
Little, Big
The Stone and the Flute

[Deni]

The classics such as The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and The Wheel of Time, but also Jorge Bucay's Dejame Que Te Cuentes

I love the book Rebecca too!

[Smiley]

I would never be tired of Harry Potter: you got seven books and a million words! Each time you read it there's just something new you have never noticed before. And the stories are intricately woven.

[Julie]

I could reread David Mitchell’s books. I have read, Bone Clocks repeatedly.

[Julie]

My favorite is Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. You learn and experience something new with each read. I just don’t tire of it.

[Żaneta]

There is a cool polish series of books about angels and demons, a bit political, it's an adventure novel and the angels were never so human! The first part is called "Siewca wiatru" which would translate to Sower of the Wind. The author, Maja Lidia Kossakowska, is called the First Dame of polish fantasy writing <3

[Ashley Strang]

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez + The Tsar of Love and Techno by Anthony Marra :)

[Jim]

A Christmas Carol.

[Julie]

Read One Hundred Years of Solitude in Literature class and was so good. Such a long saga and I would love to read it again.

[Halie]

Pride and Prejudice. I guess I'm a sucker for a classic romance.

[Arson]

The Little Prince, I've been reading it since elementary school at least once a year. I interpret it differently every time I read it as I grow up and I love it.

Les enfants "étoiles" - Ce qu'ils attendent de nous This one I love because it's one of the first psychospiritual essay I've ever read and it taught me so much about myself.

Heal Your Wounds & Find Your True Self This one also taught me a lot about myself and how to make my life better.

Finally, the Harry Potter Series. It's the first book series I've ever read, started when I was 8 and never stopped reading them ever since. I think it's more of an emotional bond than a love for the books, because they take me back to simpler times when I read them.

I'm a huge fan of Heinlein and Tolkien as well. I think I'd add Ender's Game and Odd Thomas to the list as well. Empire is another really good one. Oh wait at least every two years I read The Stand again...

OK I suck at this game I have way too many more books I want to throw on the list already. (last one for now) Fool

[Jeffery]

Not that I have repeatedly read it, but Steinbeck's The Pearl is to me one of the best written novellas. It is not only masterfully written storytelling, but it reaches deeper into the human condition than most novels and keeps it under 90 pages.

[Lithika]

Pride And Prejudice...
Book Thief...
Harry Potter...

[Edward]

I have read "The Harp and the Blade multiple times, and I have unfortunately lost my copy in one of the many moves... I also can no longer recall the author.

Thank you!

[Antonette]

I read over and over again the Inkheart trilogy by Corneila Funke.

[Vickie]

I also loved Inkheart trilogy! I was so enchanted by “reading” yourself into a book world. I tried to do it, but it didn’t work for me! Tried for the Harry Potter universe, even if I would be a muggle!

[Antonette]

LOL!! Yes, I think that's why I keep reading it!!

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein

Standalones I'm very excited to read:
Eh, I don't really do standalones, being a fantasy reader and all.

Oh god, I have mental issues. Why can't I just limit it?!

[Antonette]

I'm reading The Boy the mole the fox the horse now and it is really good, and the book is beautiful.

[Mahsa Sh]

HP series and Pride & Prejudice

[Livvie]

i love this book so much!!!

[Maddie]

It's a tie between Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I recommend both to everyone!!

[Owen]

Renegade by Marissa Meyer
Love it

[[deleted user]]

Little Women, a classic. I’ve read this so many times I can’t remember.

[Cammie]

There a lot of books that I could reread!
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
The Shining by Stephen King
Coraline by Neil Gaiman -> that book brings me so much happiness because I read it all the time as a youngster (:

[Sofia]

I'm going to second what everyone is saying - the Harry Potter series.
But I've also read The Hobbit/Lord Of The Rings more times than I can count. Also The Giver by Lois Lowry and Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.
Oh, and Dracula by Bram Stoker and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

[S.K.]

Now I need to reread "Little Women" again! I agree - it is a classic!

[[deleted user]]

I would also say The Hobbit and Harry Potter, of course!
