Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time
Book 1 has been read at least 14 times Book 2 at least 13 times Book 3 at least 12 times --- you get the idea each new book prompted a complete read thru of the series as new details emerged. there's been nothing else out there before, or since that's inspired that level of love and interest in plot |

It seems like I re-read everything. Right now I am going through most of Herman Wouk's pre- and World War II stuff again. Recently I re-read a lot of Jessamyn West. And Norah Lofts (mostly her House at Old Vine series), and Mary Stewart's Merlin series, and some scattered James Michener. Before that was all of Robert Heinlein for the umpteenth time, including the juveniles. And Spider Robinson; he makes me chortle. Harry Potter of course. The Ink World series. Joe Haldeman's sf. Greg Bear. Pohl's Gateway series. Daphne Du Maurier. Rumer Godden, she was wonderful. My god, Frank Herbert's Dune books!!! (eight times at least!)
Well, when I like an author, I just can't let go. I am promiscuous, but faithful... |

I re-read favourites regularly. The authors most likely to be re-read are:
Other books or series by authors whose overall works I might not include here, such as John Ringo, whose Empire of Man series co-written with David Weber, is a definite periodic re-read. But not the rest Last edited by CRussel; 06-11-2016 at 04:09 PM. Reason: typo |

My most regular re-reads correspond to books popular on this thread already: Lord of the Rings, The Gap Series, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Harry Potter, pretty much everything by Terry Pratchett, selected Stephen King novels, most Robert Goddard, ditto Richard North Patterson, ditto Isaac Asimov, selected Arthur C. Clarke. There isn't much that I've enjoyed that I won't come back to occasionally, just to experience it again.
At the moment I'm re-reading our Agatha Christie collection. I must have read most of them three of four times now. It's more than ten years since my last time through, and I'd forgotten what a wonderful sense of humour she had. |

Of that I'm certain. What I'm fairly certain of is there being no currently known evidence outside of the Jewish scriptures for the Jews ever being in Egypt. I think the evidence just hasn't been found. But, I'm quite interested to learn what materials you book pulls from, or is it just a work of fiction? It is also useful to note that there was no biblical record prior to Moses. He wrote all of the accounts from creation through the first five books. And, on topic, a should have added the Bible as one of my rereads. Every so often I embark on a "read the bible through in a year" efforts. This is one of those years for me. |

Just a thought in passing. As the Dead Sea Scrolls (and fragments thereof) continue to be translated they add to and fill out the understanding of the Tanakh (and hopefully the Christian Old Testament.).

I love re-reading a series when a new book comes out or when it's been long enough for me remember reading it but not details. Some of my favorite re-reads are
Dresden file series Codex Alera series all of the series by Clive Cussler Sherlock Holmes series of stories (probably the most re-read) the original Hardy Boys series (from my continuing childhood) The Rabbi series of books by Harry Kemelman (trying to find in ebook) various Star Trek books, especially the A Time To... series Asimov's Foundation series & other titles Dragon Riders of Pern series Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit A Stranger in a Strange Land Starship Troopers Alas Babylon by Pat Frank Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy Last edited by kenmac999; 06-12-2016 at 11:59 AM. |
