Thread: Books you read over and over?

im a big Mark Twain fan, i love everything of his that i have read but his short story The Mysterious Stranger was really good. hmmm Henry IV, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, The Hobbit way too many to give them all their respects

I've re-read a lot of books in my time. At one point as a lad I was re-reading the Narnia chronicles repeatedly: as soon as I had worked my way through I would start back at The Magician's Nephew and go again...

Nowadays when I get the chance I like to re-read Moby Dick - I always find something new in there each time I read it. I also enjoy any Charles Dickens, most Joseph Conrad, and a few Sir Walter Scotts.

James.

Like most folk I re-read books from time to time, mostly classics or poetry. I did read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance twice. Didn't make a lot more sense the second time. I've never been able to read novels twice.
I do keep a lot of books in my study which I never get time to read. My late uncle said one of the best things about having a poor memory was that he could enjoy the same book twice without knowing how it was going to end.
