Rebecca by Daphe du Maurier and some encyclopedias.
I didn't have many books growing up as a kid, so I reread what I had. My mum stopped buying me books since I kinda lost all of them. |

Wuthering Heights.
When I first read it I had a dictionary sitting next to me so I could look up the words I didn't understand. Now, let's just say they need a carbon dating test to figure out how old I am, and I can still read that book and walk away with new thoughts. ![]() |

Anthony Adverse - which was pipped to the post for book of the year by Gone with the Wind
The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings All the Narnia books Rendevous with Rama, a small book with so much inside it that it is like a Tardis. The Pillars of the Earth, which links me to my English roots. |

A Sand County Almanacby Aldo Leopold has had an incredible influence on my life, and I keep going back to it over and over. I look for multiple copies in used book stores and give them away when I do speaking engagements. I re-read Stephen J. Gould's books over and over, and I get different things out of his essays every time. For fiction, Raymond Chandler and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. I read one of my old favorites about every 5th or 6th book I read.

The books I keep re-reading and keep re-finding jems and smiles in are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. I first read them as a child. I keep a copy in every format that I have storage for. Dead tree version for my bookshelf, Palm version for when I had a palm device, now a Kindle version. There are other books I read over like those by Poe, Doyle, King (love Salem's Lot) but Carroll is the only one I keep replacing. I am not counting the dictionary and the "Good Book" since I use them as a reference tool.

I am a readaholic and reread books all the time.
The one I have read the most is probably Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. Apache |

The Lymond Chronicles by Dorothy Dunnett. Absolutely amazing combination of history (the Renaissance), geography (Europe, Middle East, Russia), dashing but flawed central character, and a huge mystery that lasts all the way from Book 1 to the final pages of Book 6. Definitely the books of my lifetime. Start with The Game of Kings and keep at it; even though the first 100 pages can be a bit hard going the rewards are incomparable.

This Sweet Sickness by Patricia Highsmith. I've read it twice in the last month.
Generally anything by Patricia Highsmith or Ruth Rendell. |

1984 by Orwell. i re-read it at least once every year and usually buy a new copy every other year.
i'd like to add Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, The Road and Alas,Babylon to that annual tradition but i haven't yet. |
