Always a great re-read, the continuation the other 2 books in this trilogy are also really good!"

The Hobbit? It's a one book series

[[deleted user]]

I want to say Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland/Through The Looking Glass because that’s currently my favorite book. But I think Ever After High wins because I’ve read it more than any book ever, I lost count after 67 times in a row. I can quote more than half of it from memory.

I am currently re-reading The Song of Albion by Steven Lawhead. The mythological Celtic tale is one of my favorites.

I have many favorites. The LOTRs books are amazing. If you enjoy Tolkien, I highly recommend Lawhead and Alexander Dumas (Montecristo).

Heart of Darkness

[Evan]

Definitely The Hobbit!

Awesome book!

[John]

The entire Harry Potter series and A tale of magic

[Laura]

The Belgariad and The Malloreon series by David Eddings - throw in Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress and it will take you all the way through the holiday season.

[Mark]

This is a bit unfair!! I have two, sorry! The Hobbit as it is such a wonderful read, & Hogfather because it's legendary.

[R.S.]

LOTR, Enders Game... I like Empire as well. The first few in the Days of Fire series...

[Tetty]

I could read Deathless by Cat Valente multiple times a year and never be bored.

The Hobbit. The writing just flows with warmth.

[John]

The Harry Potter series, Throne of Glass

[Robert]

I don't tend to read books more than once only because there are so many I want to read that I haven't got round to but there are 3 books I have happened to have read twice due to my book group: Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, Perfume by Patrick Suskind, and The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. I loved all 3.

[T]

the Inheritance Cycle (Christopher Paolini), no question.

[Lisa]

There are lots of books I can read repeatedly until some point they get over-familiar, which for books like Agatha Christie and Terry Pratchett could be more than 20 times. The one that I can read any number of times without risk is the lord of the rings.

[Samantha]

Forgotten beasts of eld.
Harry Potter series

[Diana]

The Age of X series by Richelle Mead
No matter how many times I read those two books I will always go back for another.

[Adam]

Definitely plan on reading The Lord of the Rings again. Those books make me tear up every time lol.

Also, Kenneth Oppel's Silverwing trilogy and its companion, Darkwing.

[Ellinor]

That's a really hard question to answer. Probably the first book about the Otro clan. Or that's one of the novels I could read over and over. But also Wolf brother. I honestly can't think of more books that I would read over and over. Sure, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, but I already do read them very often. Theres just something special about Across the Nightingale Floor and Wolf Brother that has me hooked.

[Rook Bailey]

I have to say, my all-time-favorite-read-again-and-again book series is the How to Train Your Dragon books. They are infinitesimally better than the movies, and also the movies are not about the same story in the books. So if any of you are big fans of dragon books and hate romance books, check these out! they are funny, suspenseful, and really interesting.

*Note, there are 12 books, so if you aren't good at committing...

[Johanna]

Flowers in the Attic isa narrative so fast, perfect from VC Andrews. I see that movies free and I thing is not same, I prefer read it.

[[deleted user]]

Too hard to decide! Probably the Alex Riders and the Skulduggery Pleasant series (I love children's fiction!).

[Quinn]

I loved FableHaven!!!

[Arash]

Kingkiller Chronicle + Stormlight Archive

[Mihai]

World War Z, because each chapter is a great little self-contained story.

[Sanjana]

I guess I have to say I have re-read many times the Harry Potter series. It's magical.

[z]

It's the Harry Potter series... I ve literally grown up with it, laughed and cried together. I love Rowling for delivering us this masterpiece, in which many find joy and learned many lessons of life

I took a flier on that one and was amazed. I was not expecting it to be so damn good.

[Costanza]

I could keep reading The picture of Dorian Gray till I'm blind!

[R.S.]

Agreed on World War Z being super good. I love The Stand as well. Dies the Fire by Stirling the first 6 or so are awesome. Empire and Enders game by Orson Scott Card are both worth multiple visits.

[Lexi]

The Giver.

[Livvie]

its got to be harry potter and the goblet of fire- every time I re-read it I see things that i missed the last time and new meaning to everything the characters do

[Phoenix]

All of them

[Elisabeth]

I've read the Magician's Nephew by C.S at least 40 times.
I've read The Hobbit somewhere around ten times.
When I read Harry Potter I always choose Chamber of Secrets or Goblet of Fire.
The Wheel of Time is also due for a reread.

[Roy]

I love the Dark Tower because this universe expands beyond the 7 plus one books and you can find so many direct and indirect reference withing the Stephen King multiverse and beyond. However, I hated it the first time around, because I read it, when the books where published, which made it a very disconnected experience, them being published over more than 20 years. But when I read it again, I really fell for it.
Others are Lord Of The Rings and Otherland.

[Ron]

Huckleberry Finn. Read in every year while teaching H.S English. Retired now but still find it current - especially current.

Have also read Heart of Darkness many times; yet, still, do not understand the "Horror."

[Teresa]

There are two books that I have read every year from being a young girl (certainly not that anymore ;))
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
absolutely love these books and would be all I would need if I was stuck on a desert island (food and water would be good too)

[Margaret]

The House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende

[John]

I've not read the book Victoria but it's nice that the classics get a look in here too.

[John]

No surprise to find so many Tolkien and Rowling entries here; very surprised to find a couple of Dan Brown(??)

My re-reads have changed over the years. When I was a teenager I read a lot of sci-fi and I could always come back to any Asimov. When I was a little older it was Catch 22 and Forsyth’s Day of the Jackal. In more recent years, Grisham’s A Painted House is one I’ve read two or three times because it’s so unlike his courtroom dramas.

And during the recent lock-up I read Thomas Berger’s Little Big Man again and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Two books compete for my "read it over and over again" status.
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

[MarkD60]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson. Makes me laugh out loud every time.

[Delas]

The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
I think it's his best and most intriguing work, very complex and unique.

[John]

I’d say it’s a tie between these two.

[Ayesha]

The novels I can read repeatedly without getting tired are the Harry Potter series! Boyyy I never get bored of them!
