What's your all time best novel that you can repeatedly read ?

[Melissa]

Without a doubt that would be The Hobbit and Watership Down.

[Robert]

Most definitely Perfume: The Story of a Murderer I love this book and even the movie in my opinion did it justice. Although I have never read a book twice time as there isn't enough time in a persons average life for me to read all the books I would like to read once let alone twice. I may actually come back to this one. It stuck with me for a long time after I finished it.

[Bob]

Robbie, I agree that Suskind's "Perfume..." is a stunningly-good read. It's on my GOODREADS' list of the Best Books Ever... It's stayed with me as well.

[Chancy]

Mine is The Host. I've read it more times than I've read any other book. I also live close to where the book takes places which adds a little extra interest for me.

[ag]

The Magus. I've read it 3 times, it brings me to a special place each time.

[Lucy]

Little Women, Jane Eyre, and Anne of Green Gables :)

[Bill]

"Beat to Quarters", one of the Hornblower series. I have my dad's copy that he carried through the Pacific War. It has three of the novels in one book, so I hit "Ship of the Line" and "Flying Colours", too. I re-read Conrads's "Youth" & "Typhoon" every so often, too.

[Shari]

Great Expectations Charles Dickens

[Gracie]

I repeatedly read Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone. I love that book soooo much. I also repeatedly read the others too.

[Georgia]

Mine would be all of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I have read my copies to shreds and I read them as often as I can!

[Phillip]

I've read The Lord of the Rings 14 times since I discovered it when I was in middle-school during the late 1970s.

[Paula]

Pride & Prejudice.....read that about 6 times when I was 18 and Tropical Storm by Melissa Good, I've read it about 4 times so far .... It's Pride & Prejudice for girls essentially and it never loses its appeal for me.

[Nikoleta]

ASOIAF series by George R. R. Martin
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Lord of the Flies by William Golding

[Steven]

As a kid I kept reading robinson crusoe and the invisible man (h.g. wells of course) over and over

[Adam]

Lord of the rings! All of them!!!

[Dolores]

LIFE EXPECTANCY by Dean Koontz.
An impressive, unique, and unexpected mixture of horror and outrageous scenarios that had me alternately busting up with laughter, or gnawing on on my nails! A really FUN reading experience. I could read this novel a zillion time and never tire of it!

[Flo]

"Robinson Crusoe" I think I have read the book at least 5 times while I was between 8 and 11 years old. Maybe I should read it once again in the near future!

[Naomi]

Moonheart by Charles de Lint followed closely by the LotR by JRR Tolkien.

[J.]

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Crowley's houseplants make me laugh so hard.

[Shari]

Robinson Crusoe is also one of my favorites as well. I also love The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. So many wonderful books.

[Brent]

I would have to say the very hungry catapiller,clasic well illustrated, easy to read.the book has so much to give and it gets better every time I read it

[Tekener]

LotR

[Joe]

Filth by Irvine Welsh is the only book i can recall having re-read as an adult.
But my favourite book of all is Dracula - i would definitely like to re-read it at some point.

[Stefano]

The First Law Trilogy, by Joe Abercrombie.
Read them 3 times already.
I absolutely love the anti-heroes.

[Neil]

I re-read Dies the Fire by S.M. Stirling often.

[[deleted user]]

The Space Viking by H. Beam Piper is my other favorite. Perfect for a rainy day at home.

[Ad.costas]

Insomnia by Stephen King, which caused me insomnia by the way.
I stayed up late for a couple of nights until I finished the book.

[Helen]

I have two books that I end up re-reading most years. 1984 and Rendevous with Rama. Very different, but love them both.

I have quite a few re-read favorites. To name a few...

Harry Potter series
A Confederacy of Dunces (always makes me laugh)
the Mapp and Lucia books by E.F. Benson (also funny)
Jane Eyre
and the Laura Ingalls books, which I always seem to pick up when visiting my parents. Perhaps retreating back into childhood days :)

[Brinton]

Lensman series, Doc Smith
Long Earth, Pratchet
Foundation series, Asimov

[Gmaharriet]

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough

[Maluhia]

The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings (annual re-read)
The Book of Atrix Wolfe Patricia A. McKillip
Neverwhere Neil Gaiman

Anything by McKillip is worth re-reading, multiple times!

[Jon]
