| Re: Which book/s have you read more than once? the only books i have erver read twice are harypotter ones, i read the first one 50 times in one month, i am ashamed, especialy as it took me a whole year to read the second one. i usualy dont read a book more than once, because i dont have time, im always reading a new book after i have finnished a book. i have atleast 10 serises in my head at the moment. including foundation(asimov), otherland(tad wiliams), wheel of time(rob J). others include; P F hamilton, JK Rowling, KJ anderson, A Reynowlds, A MaCafery. i also store previous comleated stories in my head, including LOTR, Odysey(Clarke), Earth Children, D Adams, and many more |

| Re: Which book/s have you read more than once? Just saw this thread. I won't even get into it much, unless someone's got a year or two to go through the list. Suffice to say: Moorcock (nearly all); Lovecraft (nearly all, more times than I remember); Tolkien (LotR at least 10-12 times alone); Peake: 3 times; Asimov (Foundation, Robot series) at least 3 times; Heinlein (with a few exceptions) 3-4 times.... It depends on whether it's a book that rewards me more each time I read it or not. So far I've been lucky, and most of what I read does. (Or, in my case, with my TBR list, is that unlucky??? ) |

| Re: Which book/s have you read more than once? In my childhood I read books multiple times... Roald Dahl was one of my favourites: must have read 'Matilda', 'the BFG', 'Charlie and the chocolate factory' multiple times... also, books by the Dutch author Thea Beckman, e.g. 'Crusade in jeans'. In my teenage years there were a few years I didn't read that much. When reading for my language subjects, I suddenly found myself for a list of 80 books I had to read for secondary school... enjoyed a number of them and read them twice (once in Dutch, once in English), e.g. 'Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier, 'Pride & Predjudice' by Jane Austen, 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker and 'the hobbit' by you-know-who . The dutch book 'discovery of heaven' by Harry Mulish I also read twice.During college/university years I've read LOTR multiple times (5, 6, ...??), the Farseer trilogy twice and I'm planning to reread 'a song of ice and fire' by George R.R. Martin before the good version of 'a feast for crows' comes out (apparently there has been a misprint...). I'd like to reread more books, actually, like the Guy Gavriel Kay books, but there are always so many books on my TBR list... (...and always will be...) |
