Books that I re-read every few years:
- All of Georgette Heyer's books
- Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"
- Sharon Lee & Steve Miller's Liaden Universe series
- Elizabeth Peter's Vicky Bliss series
- Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series
- David Weber's Honor Harrington series, and his Prince Roger series
- Eric Flint's "1632" series
- Catherine Asaro's "Saga of the Skolian Empire" series
When I was much younger, the books also included:
- Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"
- Pat Frank's "Alas, Babylon"
- Gore Vidal's "Creation"
- Frank Herbert's "Dune" series
- Agatha Christie's mysteries
- Johann D. Wyss' "Swiss Family Robinson"
- Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody series
But really, when a new book comes out in a series I enjoy, I usually re-read or re-listen to the series from the beginning to re-immerse myself in that author's universe. I usually read for escape, not inner enlightenment, though every now and then I go through a strong non-fiction phase.
