Actually I read a lot, sna have a few that i will read again and again. Almost all of Laurell K Hamilton's books[many of them I have read five or more times], Amazonia by James Rollins [working on the third reading], Sherrilyn Kenyon also has the Dark Hunter Series that I have read many times. Mostly though, if there is a new movie coming out, and I like the previews, I will go find the novel, if I like the novel [they come out before the movies go to the theatres most of the time, and I nearly get killed for telling the ending] I'll go see the movie, and then go home and read the book again to see what they missed.
p.s. I read the bible once, decided that wiccan books are better.

Well, I don't know how many times I've watched it but I really liked Independence Day. I love the scene where he's dragging that alien over the desert. Gets me every time. I don't know why.

This will sound crazy, but I used to watch Disney's animated Robin Hood and The Little Mermaid over and over again. I'd put them on and listen to them while I cleaned house. I moved and every thing went into storage and so I haven't watched them in ages. Went through withdrawal too.

Books I recommend that I've recently read

Man's search for Meaning by Viktor E Frankl

Mister God, This is Anna by Flynn

The Five People you meet in Heaven By Albom
can't remember his first name

All of these will get you thinking

And

A Briefer History of Time by Dr.Stephen Hawking

I've read 'A Man's Search' twice and tried to read 'A Briefer History' a second time, but I think it's a little over my head or something. I just can't seem to retain the info as much as I'd like to. Bless Dr, Hawking for trying to make it easier to understand though.

I'd like to re-read 'The Five People'. I need to get it from the library though.

Other Great books I've re-read are

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

and

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families by Stephan R Covey

And

Relationship Rescue by Dr.Phil
Great stuff,
but wish I could say they helped.

Harry Potters fun, even for adults, at least I enjoyed the books .

Ereth's Birthday by Avi I read this to my kids. I loved the creative exclamations from the porcupine. Cute, funny and like I told my kids, it takes a person with brains to swear without ever using a cuss word. ( I wish I had brains )

The movie will be "A nightmare before Christmas" (Tim Burton)
and the book......well it's actually a children book, I have it since I have 8 years old or something like that, "The Giving tree" (Shel Silverstein)
I cannot tell you how many times I saw the movie or read the book, because at this point, I just don't count anymore!

As a bookstore owner I have read so many books. I have always loved reading. I have several favorite books.

Some from childhood, I read and reread to bring back memories of my childhood - memories of family and home. My favorite is The Velveteen Rabbit.

As an adult - I love mysteries and fantasy. JD Robb is one of my favorites - I can read her books over and over again and not get bored. I also love Tolkein.
