Which book/s have you read more than once? - Page 2 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Quokka · 12th March 2006, 07:08 PM

Same with other posts Ive read most of my books more than once, but the ones I've continuely found myself back reading would include:

Eddings but the Tamuli series more than any other.
The earlier Wheel of Time books, I havent even bought the latest one yet, I find I can wait for the paperback. But I have completely worn through my first copy of The Shadow Rising.
I've only just got into the Errikson and GRR Martin books but I'm actually looking forward to re-reading the Malazan series once it's completed

Goodness there are too many for me to think of from the top of my head...!

I will start a list and post it soon.

Thanks folks, there's a good reading list in your choices - which is partly why I asked - also seems to be a few members frrom the Great Southern Land (i live between brisbane and toowoomba)

has there been a thread on best story/book by an australian author?

see you round the ridges

For me, it's :

Dune saga - Franck Herbert

Lensmen series - E. E. "doc" Smith - They are the first books I read most than once

Songmaster - Orson Scott Card - Every time I read the fisrt page, I try to stop reading, and every time, I must go to the end and read it again with the same pleasure.

Culhwch · 13th March 2006, 01:10 PM

Those that come to mind: The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell, Martin's ASoIaF, the Harry Potter books, Tad William's War of the Flowers, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and Stardust, Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. Okay, so the last isn't fantasy, but it's brilliant, so I thought I'd mention it...

polymath · 13th March 2006, 06:07 PM

Pretty much everything by:
Stephen King
Terry Pratchett
Umberto Eco
Conan Doyle - Sherlock Holmes
Peter F Hamilton - Night's Dawn Trilogy
All Iain M Banks
Most Of Arthur C Clarke
Most of Frederick Forsyth
aaah there's too many.....

Lissa · 13th March 2006, 07:40 PM

I have reread a lot of books. Here is my list, not all of them SF/F:

Anne McCaffrey: Crystal Singer series
JK Rowlings: Harry Potter Books
Laurell K. Hamilton: Meredith Gentry series (all my other books were in storage)
Louisa May Alcott: Rose books
LM Montgomery: Anne of Green Gables series, Emily trio
Robin McKinley: Sunshine
Maria V. Snyder: Poison Study (can’t wait for Magic Study this fall!)

Just a partial list. I can’t think of anymore right now. Most of my books are still in storage so I can’t even glance over them. *sigh* someday I will have all my lovely books back with me on the bookshelves, or as it gets sometimes, in piles by my bed.

mikeo · 13th March 2006, 09:19 PM

I'd barely know where to start - I almost always re-read books that I've read as long as I enjoyed them the first time. That said, if I don't have a new book around, the ones I reach for to re-read most are..

William Gibson's Sprawl "trilogy," and Burning Chrome
China Mieville's books (all of them)
Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon (which I can't find right now, grrr...)
most of Fritz Leiber's stuff
any Terry Pratchett

Taltos · 14th March 2006, 02:18 PM

Bujold's Miles books
Cook's Garret P.I. books
Herbert's Dune books (classic six, except "God, emperor...")
S.R.Green's Hawk and Fisher books
Lukianenko Dozor's and other books
H.Beam Piper's Little Fuzzy
etc.
and so on and so on

dwndrgn · 14th March 2006, 05:26 PM

Hmm...most often re-read"
Gabaldon's Outlander series (have two copies, one to loan and one to reread ;-) )
Hubbard's Battlefield Earth (totally destroyed all copies from rereading and now don't own one :-( )
LOTR - again destroyed my copy and now don't own one
Pratchett's Discworld (currently re-stocking the shelves with these, still missing too many)
Alan Dean Foster's Spellsinger series (another series I don't own anymore but would reread constantly if it were available)

and others of course. I have such a small collection these days that I don't do a whole lot of rereading. And of course there is so much out there that I haven't read yet - I usually only reread when I'm under the weather or feeling down as these books make me feel better, like a nice hot cup of tea.

Magician, by Raymond Feist, plus everything else he's written but thats my perfect book flawless.......

Aside from Tolkien which I seem to read every year like some kind of annual pilgrimage there's the Lovecraft short stories.

Raymonds Feist's Faery Tale
Orson Scott Card's Treason
Bruce Coville's Jeremy Thatcher Dragon Hatcher
Ursula le Guin's Earthsea books

Posted in your thread.

I've reread Pullman's trilogy as well, plus Feist's Magician and the Feist/Wurts Empire series. I think that might be it actually. I have to wait a year or 2 after reading it the first time to forget all the plot twists so they catch me unawares.

Oh, and Galah: how long does it take you to read LOTR?? Does it get faster each reading?
