Cool How many times have you read one book?

Ok this is simple its the person that has read a certain book the most times that will rank 1st for addictiveness and will stay there untill someone posts more reads

ok for me: Nightwatch, 14 reads
Guards! Guards! 11 reads
Theif of Time 12 reads
Reaper man 9 reads
Going Postal 7 reads
Good Omens 8 reads

Now can someone beat me please?

Not even close
I've read most twice; CoM, ER and HFoS thrice, I believe.

Re: How many times have you read one book?

It's possible I'd win this one, I've read them all many, many, many times. I tend to read one of the series every couple of months, but I've never kept count...

You win!

I have no idea how many times I've reread any books - I don't keep score, have no interest in and never will have.

Its not a competition!

Re: How many times have you read one book?

Guards Guards, men at arms, feet of clay, Jingo, The fifth elephant and Thud. I read this series about 7/8 times.
Belgeriad and Mallorean about 10 times.
Elenium and Tamuli about 5 times.
The drenai sagas about 6 times
Eragon and Eldest about 3 times
The whole shannara series (holy crap but this is a long series) about 2 times.

Movies? What is that? Tv is this some sickness? i read about 100 pages every night to get my mind of work.

Re: How many times have you read one book?

I tend to read parts of books more often than the whole book. Also re-read Mort in graphic novel form more than the novel. However I do find myself re-reading Thief Of Time a great deal.

I read parts of Equal Rites a lot as well along with Mort, Soul Music, Reaper Man and Hogfather. Yes, all the ones with Death in them.

Nanny Ogg's Cookbook gets taken down from the shelf whenever I feel down. I like Rincewind's recipe and of course Ook's is the best of them all.

Re: How many times have you read one book?

I can't count the amount of times I have read Witches Abroad and Good Omens. I think Good Omens is getting up around the 24 times mark. I read it about twice a year.

Re: How many times have you read one book?

Good Omens is indeed a great book, sadly I have never seen the original Omen film so I probably miss many references.

Re: How many times have you read one book?

I had no idea people read them so often. The most I've read any is twice although my husband and I were just talking about re-reading some of the early ones again. It's so long since I've read them. Don't think I'll bother re-reading the Witches ones again.

Re: How many times have you read one book?

Couldn't tell you how many times I've read some of them but it is at least half a dozen times for Witches Abroad and Guards Guards and more than twice for most of the others like Pyramids, Soul Music, Good Omens, Men at Arms, Nightwatch, Moving Pictures and Small Gods

Re: How many times have you read one book?

I don't know about the rest, but I know I've read Mort at least a dozen times over the past 10-15 years that I've had it.
