It´s cold and dark outside. The perfect time for a cup of tea, chocolate and a good book. Luckily I´m on my WoT re-read so I have a lot of fun reading ahead of me. Do you re-read books? If so, what books have you read the most times?

I´m not sure which book I have read most times. I guess it would be one of my daughters most popular books. :) I´m not sure how many times I have read WoT. Sometimes I read them all, sometimes just a few and sometimes I only read about one character. I find knew stuff all the time. After AMoL I want to re-read LotR again. It has been a long time since I read it last time. My bf has read parts of them recently and when we talked about them I realised that I had forgotten a lot of things. Other than that I want to read some new books on my to-read-list. The third Mistborn book is on top of that list. But first AMoL...

I have been rereading the wot series since discovering it 17 years ago. Each time a new book would come out I'd reread it all. This last one probably marks the end if that era, more than half my life, but it's exciting to know well finally see how it ends!

Im here!

 

I think the one set of books I have read the most are Enders Game. All of them. Many times. Oh man do I love Enders Game. Everytime I cant think of what to read next I default to Enders game for some reason and if im not feeling like that Piers Anthony's books.

I reread books if I dont remember the subject mattre, like with non-fiction, or if I relly liked it.... I dont reread much though becuse there are so many books i havent read, shouldnt waste much time rereading somethin I already know. Books i reread the most are the Cycles becuse Im a brainless religius fanatic and McCulloughs Masters of Rome and Shakespeares plays and Yeat's poetry. those are the most anyways

here, since ive only started reading the series about a year ago, ive only reread it about 3 times(the last time i skipped the perrin/faile, and wonder girls part), but ive already started my reread and ive reached LoC

I re-read incessantly. I think if I didn't I'd have read a lot more things that I haven't managed to get through yet, and my To Be Read pile is massive.

 

What I've re-read the most? Probably the Chronicles of Narnia, or Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quartet... WoT I have only been reading for a couple of years, so I haven't had time to re-read them as many times.

I am here!

 

I do re-read books. I have read Harry Potter several times and many of my Star Wars books as well. As long as the book is good, it deserves a re-read.

im like tress re read constantly mostly cause i read too quick and cant afford to keep up my habit!

 

most reread? WoT! sparhawk/belgariad Narnia True Blood

I re-read books to death. Reading them the first time is always fun, but its also fun to go back through and see what you missed before.

little house series

Think my WoT books have been re-read the most, or my Adventurer;s Wanted series books. Also done a re-read of a few Mercedes Lackey and Terry Brooks books a few times each as well.

Twelfth!

I actually re read a lot of books. Not sure which the most though.

Here!

 

 

I re-read a lot, but particularly WoT and ASoIaF. Also, Stephen King books, Dean Koontz books, the Andy McDermott thrillers, James Rollins, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child's Pendergast books, HP, LOTR....the list goes on.

Rereading books is great, it's like watching a favorite movie multiple times: you catch stuff you missed the first few times you read it, and you get to revel in your favorite parts over and over.

 

It's not as fun with books that rely on big twists to entertain, like most mysteries or authors (cough cough GRRM cough cough) who use crutches like "unexpected" character deaths and whatnot

Here!

 

There are a few books or series of books that I've read more than once. I've read the Foundation Trilogy twice; some of the Agatha Christie mysteries I've read more than once. I've read Hamlet several times, and some of Moliere's plays.

 

WoT I've read three times through. I discover things that I missed (or forgot about) the first time, when I do the re-reads. Sometimes it answers questions I had. For example, when Thom reveals his love for Moiraine, that seemed to me like it was dropped on us totally out of the blue; it seemed wacky, fabricated possibly by BS for reasons best known to him. But when I did a careful re-read, it seemed possible that RJ foreshadowed that event in earlier books. it was so subtle, I'm still wondering ... there was zero romantic interaction between Thom and Moiraine shown to the readers before we read the "My Dearest Thom" letter...

Ashaman kill.

 

I suppose that I should start rereading more often.. I get so frustrated when my friend talks about one of the books that he just finished. "This part was so wierd"

Sorry man.. I don't remember *mental facepalm*

Hello my name is Turin and I am a Re-Reader.

 

A partial list:

Silmarillion

LotR

SoT

Dune

Dragonriders of Pern

Recluse

Dragon Prince

Harry Potter

WoT

Dune

LotR

 

Should probably give the Silmarillion another go and I still haven't read Children of Hurin.

I only re-read books that I really love. Some books that I don't want to end I will re-read. My favorites are the Aurian series by Maggie Furey and Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

I don't really think too much of re-reading books, I mean, if you wait a year and then find you've forgotten most of it, its good but finishing and starting over again is definetly not for me!

Here. I think re-reading books is awesome. I don't think I've read any book just once. Unless it was something for school like..Brave New World or something. But HP, WoT, Xanth, SoT, Dragonlance, a whole bunch more, I've read all multiple times. I feel like you will almost ALWAYS catch something on a read through you didn't catch the first time. Maybe more than one something and maybe even after the second or third read.

Oh yea new month...im here

I am the devil or rereading books. Though I have only read WoT three times over in my span of knowing it for 2 or 3 years, I have read some harry potter books perhaps 20 or more times, and LotR maybe 10 times through. I reread so much, its crazy.

Rereading prepares me for the release of aMoL and when i am reading it I would understand it better than I would if I do not reread. I am behind on my reread. Only on New Spring now.
