Answer 1

Lots! Some of my all time favourites are:
Tom's Midnight Garden - A. Phillipa Pearce (Probably my all-time favourite)
The Time Machine - H.G. Wells
Footprints of Gautama, the Buddha - M.B. Byles
The Return of Reginald Perrin - David Nobbs (One of the funniest books I've ever read)
Changing Lifestyles - John Seymour
Paper Moon - Joe David Brown
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey
The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Misery - Stephen King
Weaveworld - Clive Barker
Animal Farm - George Orwell
Doctor Faustus - Christopher Marlowe
Squire Haggard's Journal - Michael Green (Also one of the funniest books ever written)
Rendevous with Rama - Arthur C. Clarke

I also read a book about anti-gravity once - I just couldn't put it down. : )

Answer 2

When I was younger, I read and re-read Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre because the male & female lead characters were so opposite ...forceful - timid.
Since getting older, I have read and re-read The Stand by Stephen King and The Dead Zone, also by King, because by only a small stretch of the imagination, both are believable, The Stand, esp at the moment, with the F & Mouth issue. Wilbur Smith is another author I re-visit on a regular basis because his descriptive powers are immense. Bill Bryson's Walk in the woods is another favourite ...he is so goddamned funny!! At the mo' I am reading a book written from the perspective of a boy with Asperger's Syndrome (kind of autism) and I am sure I will read it again. It is by turn sad, amusing, confusing and brilliant.

Answer 3

SOME OF Harry Bowling's series about the Adams family [from London not uncle fester and co} because read them out of sequence and I was not sure if I had taken a particular book out of the library or not before but they are as entertaining the second time around.

Answer 4

I've read most of my books twice or even three times.
The Vampire Chronicles ('Blackwood Farm' is my favorite).
The Harry Potter series.
Anything by Chuck Palahniuk.
The Hobbit.
Then there's this and that's that I've re-read.
When I find a good book, and actually buy it, I'm sure I will read it more than once.

Answer 5

I read most books more than once. I am a very fast reader and can usually demolish the average paperback in an afternoon, but if I enjoyed it I like to pick over it again and savour the best bits. I've just read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the third time, because I wanted to double check certain threads that I thought JKR had missed. (She hadn't!)

Answer 6

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
7 times --still havent got it!!!

Master of Game by Sydney Sheldon
Loved the plot! read it 4 times

Jane Eyre 12 times---its a Classic! :)

Answer 7

It has to be Cobra Event by Richard Preston. It is a biological thriller that really gets the imagination going. I read it twice and proably will read again as it is a good view on what could actually happen!

Answer 8

'Catch 22' by Joseph Heller

once, to enjoy it
twice to try and understand it
three times and more, because it is a great, funny, touching historical, interesting piece of literature


Another great book - in a similar vein - is 'MASH', by Richard Hooker - forget the cr@p TV show with Alan Alda - Forget the (better) Film with Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould. The book is far, far superior

Answer 9

I have read lots of books more than once, some of them technical, some of them novels.

I read a book because I want to know what it is about and I re-read it depending upon my mood or how tired I am because (a) I liked the story (b) I think I can get something more out of it (c) I find it easy to read (d) I find it challenging (e) it is interesting (f) I need some information it contains..................................and any number of other reasons

Answer 10

The only books I've read more than once is Jane Austen's - I've no idea why, but I just get more and more out of them each time I read them. I love the way she writes and the stories she tells.
