I am an avid re-reader and try to own the complete series of my favourite authors in pbooks, ebooks and audio versions. Here's a "short" list (I ran out of space for pbooks a LONG time ago...):
1. My All Time Favourite Author
Robert A. Heinlein - love all the books! Most re-read books:
The Door Into Summer,
To Sail Beyond the Sunset,
The Cat Who Walks Through Walls,

5.

I have previously noted my affection for
James Herriot books, especially the dog stories.
Cedric the Farting Boxer is one you just HAVE to read if you get a chance, but make sure you have a box of tissues handy. BTW I noticed how many MR members love not only reading, but pets, both dogs and cats - is there some relationship there? Maybe a poll is in order? Apologies for the long post, but I couldn't stop myself...
