Do you books you like over and over?

[LEMtheoriginal]

I am reading shadow of the wind again asi want to read the latest in the series. I dont usually do this.

Do you and why?

Yep. LotR, Harry Potter, Pratchett, the 1st and 2nd books in the as-yet-incomplete Kingkiller trilogy by Patrick Rothfuss, A Suitable Boy.

Agatha Christie, when I don't want to think and just need to escape. Remains of the day always feels like it offers something new each time I read it All My Friends are Superheros, it's so unexpected. Finally, Three Men in a Boat is like stepping into my own happy place.

I cant read more than one book at a time. I read on kindle now and it makes me fickle so lots of half finished stuff. Lost my reading mojo so going back to books i know i like

No, I don't.
I'm a very avid reader, but I feel that life is too short for that, when I can be reading something else new.

I absolutely love reading A Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher at this time of year. I love all her books and read them over and over especially The short story books Flowers in the Rain and the Blue Bedroom so uplifting and heartwarming

Me too! The Shell Seekers was the first one of hers I read - it was a present many years ago -that copy literally fell apart I read it so often.I have Solstice in paperback and kindle version,also have Shell Seekers,Coming home and September on my kindle as well as paperback.

I'm on my third copy of Memoirs of a Geisha because I reread it whenever I need to escape. I do reread favourites for escapism, usually Adriana Trigiani books or Dorothy Koomson.

GrumpyOldmare I have just bought Coming Home from a charity shop, I can't wait to read it . Have also read The Shell Seekers . You should really read her short storys each one has a poinent message. Rosamunde Pilcher was truly brilliant .

I have all of her books on paperback,the short stories ARE very good,I agree. Love her work.Will start Solstice again come the weekend. Coming Home is great,you'll love it.Don't watch the film though,it's been spoilt.

When I'm tired but I want to read or when I just want something that's well written and uplifting I reread Pride and Prejudice.

I like how many of us reread the Discworld books .

Haruki Murakami (forgotten most of them so should reread)

Ryū Murakami
Nabokov
Catch 22
Catcher in the Rye
Lord of the Rings as a teen

The Final Formula series (though temporarily bored of it)

The October Daye series and will probably reread when the next book is out

Oh, and the Dresden files when the author finally finishes the next sodding book

When the GoT ends I'll reread all the books then watch it from the start.

I definitely reread favourites over and over. Think, for me, it began at primary school when I would make a point of reading The Box of Delights every Christmas, finishing the book at bedtime on Christmas Eve.

Coincidentally I'm currently halfway through Neverwhere for about the fifth time.

GrumpyOldmare Thank you I am looking forward to a few cosy nights of reading . Enjoy Winter Solstice . Coming Home was on Truemovies a few months back I switched off. Have a lovely Christmas .

@CMOTDibbler (great name, btw, one of my favourite characters) just read your comment and now I need to dig out my old copy of The Dark is Rising. I love that whole series.

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit it but I'm working my way through the Outlander books for the third time, I now listen to them on Audible and they get me through boring chores and insomnia, yes they have too many characters and too much historical detail but that works well for rereading! Not the only hooks I reread, I often revisit "old friends".

Ooh yes, I love re-reading old favourites - it's like putting a cosy jumper on. I always return to Harry Potter, Agatha Christie, Terry Pratchett, Jane Austen and an Australian author called John Marsden - particularly his Tomorrow series.
Whenever I visit my parents I get out all my old favourite picture books and feel nostalgic.
I also read a lot of new books, I'm a voracious reader and have a number of books going at any one time.
