Re: Which book/s have you read more than once?

I love books and I reread a lot of my books but the ones that I have read so many times some of them are falling apart and I can pick up and can't put back down:

-Harry Potter Books
-Dune (1st copy which was my dad's actually did fall apart, maybe I should go reread that again)
-Pride and Predjudice (Jane Austen)
-Starwars (Ep 2 and 3)
-A swiftly tilting planet (Madeleine L'Engle) (also fell apart which was my dad's guess I should go buy another copy)

Many others that I can't remember right now... I think I will go steal... umm... borrow dune from my dad again

I've read the Silmarillion 10 times to man, along with every other Tolkien work.

I've also reread the Great Tree of Avalon series also. Great trilogy.

I've read every Patricia C. Wrede book more times than I can count, I've read LOTR a few times, Redwall by Brian Jacques, Tamora Pierce's books, The Belgariad and The Mallorean by David Eddings, and I read Harry Potter a lot when it first came out.

Re: Which book/s have you read more than once?

I'm on about my 3rd re-read of The Dresden Files. And my 2nd time through The Prestige - tho I'm not sure this one's so much SF as it is something else - tho there is that whole Nikola Tesla thing that is mostly not possible.

Re: Which book/s have you read more than once?

What have I reread? LOTS! I keep books because I’m going to read them again ...

Weird favourites like *Always Coming Home* Ursula K. LeGuin, *Camp Concentration* Thomas Disch & *Babel-17* Samuel R. Delaney ...

Some favourite authors: Lois McMaster Bujold, Alice Borchardt, Judith Tarr, Gillian Bradshaw, Judith Merkle Riley, Asuzette Haden Elgin, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Vernor Vinge, Tim Powers, Saki ... really too many to list!

And there are some books where I have only one or two by those authors ... Why didn’t they write more? Or ... more like that?

*The Interior Life* Katherine Blake
*Hellspark* Janet Kagan
*Courtship Rite* (*Geta*) Donald Kingsbury
*Timescape* Gregory Benford
*The Once and Future King* T.H. White
*Branchpoint* Mona Clee
*Godstalk* P.C. Hodgell
*Toolmaker Koan* John McLoughlin
*Wintermind* Parke Godwin & Marvin Kaye
*The Indians Won* Martin Cruz Smith
*Mojo and the Pickle Jar* Douglas Bell
*The Man in the High Castle* Philip K. Dick
*The Wood Wife* Terri Windling

Sorry, got a bit long here!
