I have never been one to reread a book. This is mainly because I have sooooo many on my to-read list that I don't want to. However, I recently preordered the 31 disc Harry Potter collection which has me rereading the series again.

Wow thats a lot of discs, must say the box they come in looks fantastic.

I've never read the Hobbit. I will put it on my TBR list, which grows bigger every day with all the recomendations i get on here.

I've never listened to the audio books. I might have to give them a try sometime. It would be nice while i'm at the office since I usually have headphones on.

Which do you prefer?

You did say you bought them didn't you? I prefer Stephen Fry (except for the accent he uses for Tonks).

I have read Cloudstreet by Tim Winton three times and I would like to read it again.

Other than that, there are only a few books that I have read twice.
