Besides the Bible and other religious texts, what books do you keep coming back to and rereading over and over?
-
Matilda, hunger games, Harry potter, the classics by the brontes or austen
-
I've read Gone with the Wind about 10 times!
-
Don't judge me but it would have to be the twighlight series... *hangs head in shame*
-
The Harry Potter series, The Secret Life of Bees, & My Sister's Keeper.
-
Time Travelers Wife
When I was younger I read the Little House on the Prairie books over and over again. I also read Where the Red Fern Grows a lot and it always made me cry.
-
Harry Potter series, hands down. I lost count of how many times I've reread it. I also reread The Hunger Games series and The Time Traveler's Wife a number of times.
-
@Mrs. Pink: That's my favourite too! I actually read Gone With the Wind for the first time when I was 12 and have read it AT LEAST once per year since then. I just started reading it again a few days ago and have been spending some time every day reading it aloud to my belly - but I also read it during the day/evening so the baby's getting an abridged version!
Other books I read over and over are the Harry Potter series and pretty much anything by Jane Austen, particularly Pride and Prejudice!
-
@REE723 I read it the first time around 10? but I started watching the movie much smaller then that... I taught myself to speak with an accent from that movie LOL and wanted to be Southern ever since!
-
Anne of Green Gables
Pride and Prejudice
The Chronicles of Narnia
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle.I honestly couldn't count the times I have read all of these! Chronicles of Narnia--at least six times!
-
Harry Potter, The Notebook, Hunger Games and I think there is probably another Nicholas Sparks book that I read more than once.
-
Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion.
Harry Potter
The Book Thief -
None. Once is enough.
-
Anne of Green Gables.
-
Of Human Bondage- I re-read it every few years and no matter how much my life has changed, it always seems to relate to me on a personal level. It's my favorite.
-
Pride & Prejudice, Gone with the Wind, and for awhile I was also on a Twilight kick.
Often, I'll just go back and read my favorite parts
-
The Hobbit, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games
-
Pride and Prejudice, Baby Proof by Emily Griffith, The Notebook and The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks.
-
I read The Alchemist every year. It's to remind myself to keep going after my "personal legend." I love that book, it's so inspirational.
-
The Kite Runner and A thousand splendid suns- both by Khaled Hosseini
-
Books I cannot live without: Harry Potter series, all Austen (especially P&P and Persuasion) and Tolkien books.
Books that are eager to join that list: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Hunger Games series. -
The Giver, Little Women, The God of Small Things and The Sound & the Fury.
-
Hunger Games series, Delirium, & Art of Racing in the Rain.
-
When I was younger, I constantly re-read books. So a ton of Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and I read the entire Hobbit series every summer until high school.
As an adult, though, there are few things I like to re-read, since there is only so much time and so many books. I've read the Harry Potters series multiple times, and can also add Pride and Prejudice on the list. But every time I get on the kick to re-read P&P, I try and read an Austen book I haven't yet, so that I get to them all.
-
To Kill a Mockingbird. I think I've read it at least 30 times.
-
I listen to audiobooks while I drive, since I have a 1 hour commute to work each way every day. I usually get them from the library and rip them to mp3 to put on my ipod or phone. I love series books, and after listening to a few new books, I usually search my library and re-read (or listen to) the following:
Harry Potter Series
Twilight Series
Hunger Games Trilogy
Jodi Picoult
The Stephanie Plumb series by Janet Evanovich (there are 18 in the series so far)
Emily Giffin's books
Nicholas Sparks's books -
@sandy: Oh wow, I reread "Where the Red Fern Grows" over and over growing up too!! Just reread it the other day actually... those dogs taught me how to love and also, the importance of loyalty.
-
@mrbee: I read Red Fern every year with my students. It gets better every time I read it. There's a strong theme of faith that runs through it, but subtle enough for public school. So we get some interesting student discussions going.
-
I read the "Little House on the Prairie" series over and over as a little kid, now I rarely re-read books. There are too many new ones I want to get to!
