Over the past summer, I re-read a majority of Neil Gaiman's novels as well as books written by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Brian James, and Margaret Wild. As of late, I've been having an itch to re-read John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany as well (or just anything Irving).

I always reread books. I always read them at least once right after I finish it. So it's like I read the last page then flip over to the first again.

Yeah, if it's a book I really like. But it can get boring after the fifth time or so.

Yeah, I've read my favourite trilogy ... 3 times, now. And you do miss little details the first time around. So when you re-read, tiny little tidbits of info you haven't encountered yet leap out at ya. |

As soon as I've read a book I often feel like reading it again, straight after.
I fight the temptation though and re-read it much later. I've read The Devil Wears Prada like four times now.

There are two books that I don't mind reading over and over again:
Life of Pi, by Yann Martel, and Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. |

I only reread the books I like, usually awhile after I've read them. I have this thing where I have to read Tithe every beginning of the school year.

I can read Night over and over and it still effects me the same way it did the first time I read it, which is rare for me.

hhmm, I like to read some books over and over. One of them is the The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia Wrede. I can't remember any other titles. But I usually read them over if I don't have anything else to read.

I can read the ALIEN quadrilogy over and over again. I love the films and the books add real depth to the whole franchise.
Other than those, the Dragonlance series by Weiss and Hickman are my all time read-agains. I have a thing for Raistlin Majere... |

I always read a book more than once. Well, usually atleast.
I've read the LOTR stuff several times (I have no life) and all the Potters book twice (Phoenix three times). |

Anyway, I love to read my favorite books over. It's fun discovering new things I missed the first time because I was too busy trying to get to the next scene. |

i used to do that, but i just cant anymore. since i already know whats going to happen, it ruins everything for me. I've been the same with movies lately too. I'm just in a weird phase right now tho. LoL. The books written by David Pelzer are good ones tho! [Child Called It, Invisible Boy, Man Named Dave.] If I was in the mood, I could read those time && time again.
