The books you have read more than twice.

Aug 22, 2009 07:32

So I started the third book in the Old Man's War series, The Last Colony by John Scalzi. The first two chapters have been very entertaining. After putting the book down to go to sleep, for whatever reason, my mine got thinking about books that I have enjoyed so much that I have read them more than twice. There are lots of books that I have read twice. Maybe this is because my reading comprehension is probably below average and it often takes two read for me to comprehend it all. I know the list of books that I have read twice would be rather long and probably incomplete due to me forgetting about some/many of the books. The books that I have read more than twice is much shorter and comprises the books that I not only really like but also ones that I like to revisit. Some books are immensely entertain the first time through but a second read does not make them better. The books on this list are one that when I finish reading them invariably for days to several weeks after I find myself missing one character or another as if a friend died or moved away.

Anyway if your incline, post your list of books you have read more than twice. Here's mine:

The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
Neuromancer by William Gibson
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
The Sword and the Dagger by Ardath Mayhar
Decision at Thunder Rift by Jr., William H. Keith
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Most if not all of the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Alien vs Predator (graphic novel) by Randy Stradley, Chris Warner, and Phill Norwood and the Novelization: Aliens vs Predator: Prey by Steve Perry and Stephani Perry
