Rawr Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've re-read several books many times! There's nothing better than getting re-acquainted with an awesome character, it's like settling down with a friend xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anisia Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The Harry Potter books are first to come to mind but there have been other books I've reread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucybird Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I re-read all my favourites regularly. Me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Of course! Why keep them otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Of course! Why keep them otherwise? That's it for me too. When I do a book cull (rare, but it does happen!) I can only let the books go that I know I won't want to re read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDR124 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Absolutely...It's like coming back in a place you've loved and find it has still so many things to give you. I would re-read "One hundred years of solitude" more than a hundred times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkle1106 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've re-read lots including Pride & Prejudice, all the Anne of Green Gables books, Diana Gabaldon's Cross Stitch series, all the Patricia Cornwell Scarpetta novels, Linda Fairstein's earlier books, Agatha Christie. Too many to list really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I read Heidi as a child and then later as a teenager would love to read it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Re-read a fair amount of books, but now I'm getting older I'm getting a lot more so reading the older ones less and less. Saying that I don't hesitate to re-read Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, His Dark Materials, etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDR124 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sometimes re-reading is a necessity. For example when I'm upset I start re-reading something which the first time I read it had given me peace or just few moments of relax...One of those is the HP serie.

lexiepiper Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I enjoy re-reading my books and do it quite often, no point in buying books if you're only going to read them just the once imo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GsdSheba Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've re-read The Green Mile by Stephen King quite a few times, always makes me cry, but I love it. Also like the majority, I've re-read HP a couple of times over too. Its so easy to get lost in his story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leah86 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've read all of the HP's at least twice and I've read Should of Got Off At Sydney Parade by Ross O'Carroll-Kelly and The Curious Incident of The Dog In the Nightdress by Ross O'Carroll-Kelly three times each.

BookBee8 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've read the Twilight saga twice, the HP's numerous times and the Noughts and Crosses series loads too! I don't think there's a stand alone novel that I've read more than once though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 If we're being specific I about HP I must have read all the first 4 about 6/7 times, and the last 3 3/4 times also. Back when I hardly had any books I used to come back to them time and time again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookBee8 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Oh, well if we're being specific. I've only read the last Harry Potter once and have also only read the last Noughts & Crosses (Double Cross) once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiepiper Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I enjoy re-reading my series a lot, but with regards to stand alone books, I'd say my three most re-read would be Time Traveler's Wife, Speak and My Sister's Keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiohwji Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) yes i have read a book more than one. it was harry potter and the deathly hollows. it was so beautiful that i really want to read it all over again.

SKB-SL Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I've read all the Malory Towers books at least six times each; I'm currently re-reading Virginia Andrew's Dollanganger series, for the third time; the only Earth's Children book I can read without skipping pages is The Valley of Horses (I usually skip all pages without speech, and end up getting bored). I've also read Nicholas Evans' The Loop at least nine times; I prefer this book to The Horse Whisperer, and I hated The Smoke Jumper.

poetsquill Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I dont see the point in buying books if your not going to read it more than once! I have read Tully by paula simmons at least 5 times mind brill book! Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 'When The Lion Feeds' by Wilbur Smith. The first book that really got me hooked on reading, i think i've read it at least three times. The last time was quite a few years ago. The Courtney saga was such a great series i must read them all again and of course that means starting with 'When The Lion Feeds'.

Jack Dawkins Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I've read Jaws about 3 times.I've re bought quite a few books that I going to read again.To me if you buy a DVD chances are you'll watch it more than once.If you keep your books like I do, they are all potential rereads(even the rubbish ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
