The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
discussion
What's your all time best novel that you can repeatedly read ?


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


The Hobbit. The writing just flows with warmth.



No matter how many times I read those two books I will always go back for another.

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


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

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


Me too...

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



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.

Others are Lord Of The Rings and Otherland.


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

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)

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

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.
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I think it's his best and most intriguing work, very complex and unique.
