So I am reading the LOTR books again and I realized that these are the books I`ll never stop rereading
So I was wondering whether if their are any books that have had the same kind of effect on you guys
If so feel free to share

No erotic novels please

To Kill a Mockingbird - at least a dozen times read

Le Morte De Authur - 6-10 time read

The River of Doubt - twice read

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy(all 6 books)-No clue how many times I've read it.

The Dark Tower Series
My Side of the Mountain: read about 4-5 times

I really like The Songs of Maldoror

"The Road" and "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy

Harry Potter series.

I'm currently reading the Dune series, which I believe the main storyline is a six part series. I was a quarter way through book three but college had to be a priority. I'll probably start

back at the start of book three when I get to summer break. When I was in elementary school and middle school, I was all over the Halo books as I was a pretty big fan of the Halo

series and I wanted to know as much of the lore as I could.

Twilight Series

On this note, 50 Shades should be in every couples household.

I guess I don't have an opinion for this thread since I couldn't finish Two Towers.

And other estrogen filled books.

Considering how many books there are to read I seldom re-read a book. It happens but only quite infrequently. Only read The Hobbit thrice and LOTR twice for example. Some book series I probably have extra amount of fondness for just because of their length, one of my favorites series for example, being the main series Margit Sandemo has written, is 82 books long, I've just gotten to read 75 of them though because the last 7 have never been translated to a language I can read.

Then there are also books such as the Legend of Drizzt Do'Urden that also clocks in the double digits although not quite as much. And of course I was born into the generation that was in middle school when Harry Potter and the Inheritance Cycle series came out so while they may not be very deep I have fond memories of reading them on breaks during school and during work free summer vacations.

And those are just a small number of the books I've read. I really can't choose any one or even few great books as most all of them stick out in their own way having their faults and merits alike. Many a problem I might have with the writing of R.A. Salvatore I may not have with Tolkien but then Tolkien wrote with many faults that R.A. Salvatore did not.

Currently I have 10 and a half novel waiting for me read them and one manga omnibus so I might be hard pressed to suddenly re-read a book I've read before, it's sort of silly to make flat out recommendations anyway as people in general will have largely varied tastes and some such as myself might just read just about any book they can get their hands on. But to mention where my tastes lie it would have to be in medieval fantasy books. Few things get me as excited as sitting down to read a large book filled with medieval tales of adventure, warfare, politics and sorcery.

Noble Dead series by Barb and J.C. Hendee. Why? It has:
1) Dwarves. Some can even walk through stone!
2) Vampires. Some not totally evil. .
3) Elves. And not those puny kind of elves. These are some of the deadliest assassins there are!
4) Fay. Some manifest as animal companions.
5) Little to no magic. Except for runes.
6) Richly detailed world with several continents and distinct cultures.
7) And finally Dhampiir! Children born of a vampire and human. Some become excellent undead hunters.

Slaughterhouse V by Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut is my kindred spirit when it comes to writing, and is the biggest influence on my own style. This book made my junior year of high school, and made me want to write.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

How to Restore Your Harley Davidson ~ Bruce Palmer

Oh and...

Lion of Ireland ~ Morgan Llywelyn (a nod to the old sod there EvilFish)

I think I've read Small Gods by Terry Pratchett a dozen times now. Closing in on that with Night Watch, too. Hell, I've read almost every Discworld novel at least 4 times. Each time I re-read one, I discover some new depth that I had missed before. The man is a genius.

I actually loved that book as a kid.

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay
The Hobbit+The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by Tolkien
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court by Mark Twain
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
The Iron Druid Series by Kenvin Hearne
The Sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind
Salt by Mark Kurlansky (I think)
The Big Burn by Timothy Egan
The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
The Beauty and the Sorrow by Peter Englund
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
Mornings on Horseback by David McCollough
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

this is just a small list of the best books I've ever read

Currently reading through the Discworld series which is great so far

I have read the entire thing twice, and I'm not big on fiction...at all. (notwithstanding Tolkien, Chaucer, and other selected classics)

Stephan R Donaldson's "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever"

The second chronicles in particular, they probably saved my life.

There are so many. I'll list a few that I have read at least twice, no doubt forgetting countless others that should be mentioned also.

The Dune series (especially the first three) - Frank Herbert
Watership Down - Richard Adams
The Silmarillion/The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings - Tolkien
The Stand - Stephen King
Salem's Lot - Stephen King
Dracula - Bram Stoker
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
A Song of Ice and Fire - George Martin
The Dark Tower (first four) - Stephen King
Anything by Lovecraft
The Conan stories, by Robert Howard.

The Road by McCarthy, already mentioned. It made me [censored] cry. Books never get an emotional response out of me, and it made me [censored] cry.

Don't know about re-reading but i find myself thinking about A Song Of Ice And Fire alot when i'm not reading it. Probably the sign of a good book.
