Any books you read on a regular basis?

Kat, I used to read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn each year, haven't for awhile but for me, every year I came away with a different impression of the book.

Before I joined GR, I was a certified "re-reader". I had a group of books that I would read, and read, and read, and read... and read. Haha. I don't know how many times I read the following books/series:

The Lord of the Rings
The Harry Potter Series
The Dark Tower Series
The Stand
The Shining
Little Women
The Talisman
I Know This Much Is True
A Time To Kill
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Season of Passage

Those are my stand-by books, my go-to, comfort books. When I'm at a loss for something that will remind me of "home" I pick one of those.

I'm torn on this re-reading issue...on the one hand (or groaning bookshelf) are the books I haven't read even once yet that I really want to get to, and on the other are the ones I go back to again and again because they are so necessary to me - Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, the Mitford series, the Dark is Rising series, Mary Stewart's Merlin stories, Christy, The Wind in the Willows, most anything by George MacDonald, everything by Madeleine L'Engle especially the Crosswicks Journals.

most often re-read: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Betsy-Tacy series, Beany Malone series, Stephanie Plum series.

I am a chronic re-reader. I'll go through a phase where I have to re-read a bunch of Stephen King books, or the entire "Alex Delaware" series by Jonathan Kellerman, to name two examples. The one novel that I am compelled to re-read annually is Gone With The Wind.

I have not been a re-reader so far but will be soon. I loved "Anna Karenina" by L. Tolstoy & "The Poisonwood Bible" by B. Kingsolver. One of my goals is to re-read them this next year in 2010.

My main re-reads are Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, anything and everything by George Bernard Shaw, Les Miserables, and Pride and Prejudice. Those are just off the top of my head, but i also have many more that I go through every once in a while.
