Which Book Have You Read/Re-Read All Your Life? - Page 32

The Lord of the Rings

I used to read it every year or two but suffered an overdose of Tolkien after the films came out. Now, it's once every several years.

I read GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire (A Game of Thrones, etc.) once every couple of years or so, in a variety of formats (audiobook, ebook, hardcover, etc.). But I reread a lot of books at least once or twice.

"Brat Farrar" by Josephine Tey (the first book I read on my e-reader too)
"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen
"The Lord of the Rings" by J R R Tolkien
"The Thurber Carnival" by James Thurber (my paperback is falling to pieces)
"After Julius" by Elizabeth Jane Howard
"Random Harvest" by James Hilton
"Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman

(What an odd mixture!)

I have re-read The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny probably 5-6 times. Too bad that the series is so short though. I don't usually return to the books that I've read before because knowing how they end sort of ruins it for me.

I hope they serve beer in hell, read that at least 4 times a year, cracks me up every time.

Pretty Much all Tamora Pierce's stuff, Her Protector of the Small Series (all 4 books) get's re-read (or listened to) at least twice a year.

Also love "My Side of the Mountain" Jean Craighead George and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House Books.

And Just Quietly "The Pirate and the Pagan" by Virginia Henley and also "Legend" by Jude Deveraux.

In no particular order I try and read these books at least once a year:

The Belgariad Series: David Eddings
The Good Earth: Pearl S. Buck
Shadow Castle: Marion Cockrell ( a childhood favorite)
The Dresden Series to date : Jim Butcher
Lord of the Rings: Tolkein
Sword of Shannara: Terry Brooks

Alice in Wonderland

Wyrd Sisters, Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, Lords and Ladies - Terry Pratchett
The Foundation series (first 3 of them) - Isaac Asimov
Sherlock Homes - various books, always a good read

The Forbidden Game triology by L.J. Smith

Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey series. Until recently, I read the whole series every year and found something new every time. It's an amalgam of adventure, Naval history, 19th century manners and unchanging human nature and I regard it as a masterpiece.

Merischino · 11-20-2011, 03:01 PM

Robert A. Heinlein's Friday, and Stranger in a Strange Land
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

If you like the Patrick O'Brian Series try The Richard Bolitho Series by Alexander Kent. Also The Horatio Hornblower Series by C. S. Forester is still a good read.
