Rereading ebooks

AprilHare · 10-24-2010, 04:01 AM

Okay, you have a great collection of ebooks. You have a varied ebook collection, but despite this you find yourself rereading one book repeatedly.
What is that book?
For me it's The Lord of the Rings.

Rereading the same book and re-threading the same issue

Well, i very, very, seldom reread the same book. Except for technical books.

I have four books I regularly reread or partially read in between other books:
It by Stephen King
The Stand by Stephen King
The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

There are other books I occasionally reread, but these are my "go to" books when I haven't got anything else to read.

Since two of your four books are on my frequently reread list I might have to check out The Secret Garden!

The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky.

It's a children't book, but I still enjoy it and it was probably the book that got me interested in ghost stories. Best thing of all you can download it for free from MobileRead.

I can reread The Stand and Salems Lot, along with almost anything Asimov wrote. I can also reread Dracula (but not Shelleys Frankenstein, oddly) and the Destroyer books by Murphy and Sapir.

My favorite books to read over and over are usually in the chick-lit genre. The movies I watch over and over fall in that category as well. I don't necessarily like those books/movies better, they are just re-readable and re-watchable because they are such fluffy brain candy.

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Have only been through it twice so far. Plan on re-reading again in about a year.

dsvick · 10-25-2010, 12:41 PM

The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny I've re-read probably a dozen times, those are the only ones I've re-read with any frequency although there are others as well.

I think most of the time though I'd end up re-reading a book off of my book shelf simply because I did not have a new book lined up to read. With the eReader that is not a problem anymore as I can get a new book to read within minutes.

I'm currently about halfway through the complete Sherlock Holms collection. I read them piecemeal about ten years ago whilst commuting by air between islands about ten years ago.

Anything by Jane Austen or Georgette Heyer.
