I very rarely re-read books. I think I've only ever re-read the following: Thanks for the Trouble, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe and Terms and Conditions.

It's a three way tie between Harry potter, Narnia and Percy Jackson in series.

Stand alone - Perks of being a wallflower, Pride and Prejudice
Books may well be the only true magic.

Well, as an author I stay clear of any erotic book, my reasoning is that they don’t seem written well and also tend to not feel real, take 50 shades, yes i know a worldwide hit, there had to be something in it I would like, but I couldn’t even get past the first few chapters before I had to put it down, and I will say out loud this is the first book that I have ever thrown away and not finished, it wasn’t the story, well really didn’t have any but it was poorly edited and written. Why is it that when people write this book that the main character is a male with a poorly written female second?
It’s not just from a female perspective I have heard it from many people, so it took me aback when I tried another one just to prove I was right, but I couldn’t, secrets from the top Caroline’s journal, the beginning of three new books, wow, i couldn’t put it down. It told a story. and for people in the know then I don’t know what is, it will resonate with every female and some men, it tells things that are true, and if that truly isn’t the best way to read, then think about this, the author’s real name is Mr darcy. if you like myself like the realness of a book, then you need to read this, if not then those who sit and fawn over 50 shades are doing them and their friends an injustice so if you want to read a book that has sex scenes but a want a female lead or two female leads then this restarts the sex conversation from a who new angle

has to be "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger.

The entire Harry Potter series! I've been re-reading them constantly since I started reading them as a child.

It's definitely the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. I don't even know how many times I've read it but it's probably my all time favorite!

Most other books I read only once although I hold on to them forever, Lol! The only books that I keep going back to again and again are the Ramcharitmanas or Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita because they are a constant source of courage and inspiration.
I am reading the Lord of the Rings series for the first time ever this year and I have to say I am absolutely loving it so far!!
IKR! It keeps you totally engrossed. I was not able to put it down (that was long before the movie though). :techie-studyinggray:

The book that I reread is The Concubine by Chinua Achebe... There is romance and a hunt for the most beautiful woman recently divorced by a sea king to live on earth as punishment and that no man should ever marry her or else perish. Good book indeed. :techie-reference: :techie-reference:

The entire Harry Potter series. I love re-reading them because of the nostalgia and noticing how I interpret the books differently as I get older.

I looked for it and all I can find of The Concubine is by Elechi Amadi? There's also a Korean film of the same name that has a forbidden love theme. Chinua Achebe wrote Things Fall Apart. I want to read it!

I got about half way through the Ice & Fire series and after stepping away for a while, I had to start again. There's so many houses and characters that are barely described by their armour. I lost track of who was who.

I love poem books. One of my favorites are “I am her tribe” by Danielle doby. It’s just a really positive book for women of all ages and I’ve read it about 13 times this past year.
