I just reread them this past spring (along with 4 or 5 others that centered around Jaxom, Lessa or F’lar. It had been at least 25 years since I’d read them last.
I actually have 4: Harry Potter series, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, The Lord of the Rings series, and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I find Gaiman to be great rereads. I listened to Good Omens, and I can’t wait to have time to go back to it. And HGTTG is probably my all time favorite book (I have 42 tattoed on my thumbs) and the audio is great comfort listen.
I generally do not reread books, but there are several Anne Rice books I’ve read more than once. And several chapters I read and reread for the delight of them.
Georgette Heyer (I cannot choose one, I reread all of them on the regular) A Room With A View by EM Forster The Blood Fire series by Helen Harper (the books are short so I’m counting them as one)
“All Creatures Great and Small” by James Herriot, “Redwall” by Brian Jacques, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou, “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz, “Tiny Beautiful Things” by Cheryl Strayed, “The Art of Happiness” by Dalai Lama, “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” by Michael Pollan, “The Walking Drum” by Louis L’Amour, “The Shadow of the Wind” by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, all the books in the Harry Potter series, “Undaunted Courage” by Stephen Ambrose. (And many, many more.) ☮️??
When I was a kid, I reread Little Women many times, as well as Black Beauty, Beautiful Joe, Forever Amber and others, but now that I’m an adult and realize how short life is and how many books there are, I never reread books. . . Except of course, those that I start to read and then realize I’ve read it already. ?
The 4 books I’ve actually re-read: Harry Potter, Interview with a Vampire, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Poisonwood Bible. I have many others I would love to re-read, but my TBR list is too long ?
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Pride and Prejudice (accompanied by a rewatch of at least three television and movie versions) and the Culture books by Iaian Banks.

Red Rising!!! Oh gosh, I am not a sci-fi person at all…I won Red Rising giveaway, I must have thought it was something else when I entered. As soon as I finished, I headed to library and got the 2nd and was first in line for 3rd. Awesome series!? Oh and I’ve bought them to read again!!!?
Really cool thread! ?? I don’t re-read fiction, but I’ll often go back to read the first few pages of a book I just finished! Or re-read the last few pages, just to capture them again ❤️
I haven’t read Dick Francis in years now, but I’ve read all his early books (the first 25 or 30) more than once and I keep thinking I should see if they still hold their charm for me. He’s very good at characterization and pacing, or at least his wife was; since she died his books have not been neatly as good.
@RuthLoewen, it’s funny that they are so good to reread, even though predicting the ending is usually very easy. I think he has passed away now. The latest books are written by his son.
@Cathy Nope. Coraline creeped me the hell out when I tried reading it in 6th grade. (At least I think it was 6th grade.) Something about the whole button for eyes thing. Couldn’t do it.

I haven’t read Dick Francis in years now, but I’ve read all his early books (the first 25 or 30) more than once and I keep thinking I should see if they still hold their charm for me. He’s very good at characterization and pacing, or at least his wife was; since she died his books have not been neatly as good.

Howl’s Moving Castle, Inkheart, Harry Potter. And those are all technically kids books. I read them when I was younger. Guess they stuck with me.
Another good kids book, I recently read was The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Will definitely read it again.
I don’t really like Neil Gaiman’s writing style.
I haven’t read any of his adult books yet. Just Coraline and The Graveyard Book. I enjoyed both.. I recently got a couple of others to try.
@Cathy Nope. Coraline creeped me the hell out when I tried reading it in 6th grade. (At least I think it was 6th grade.) Something about the whole button for eyes thing. Couldn’t do it.
It is rather dark…but, I like creepy, scary…thriller types.
I like dark comedy. If its like a dark story with a sarcastic narrator, I’m down.
East od Eden(Steinbeck), Lights we cant see (Doerr), Tuesdays with Morrie (Albom)
Tuesday’s with Morrie…love Mitch Albom’s books! And that movie is pretty good too!?
