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.

Definitely this one. Probably the only stuff I've read more than twice. I think I've read the whole series four times. Plus I've listened to the radio plays about eight billion times.

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.

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.

My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George
Walden by Henry David Thoreau
The Woods by Charles B. Seib
The Stream by Robert Murphy

peace & happy reading,

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.

Sorry. I'll be going to my room now.
