Or are you one of those crazy fools that never re-reads a book or series.

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit it, but the book I've reread the most is Twilight. I've probably read it 8-10 times.

Okay, this is pretty silly since it's a pretty young and simple book and I am way beyond the target audience age, but I just get such simple joy out of the whole dang thing. And the ending is perfect. I re-read it every couple of years when the urge hits me.

I have literally several HUNDRED books I haven't read yet.

I am rereading Harry Potter instead.

I also frequently reread the Princess Diaries and Jodi Picoult. These are my comfort books.

Speak, too, it's one of my absolute favorite books. And I've been meaning to reread Series of Unfortunate Events again. Basically, anything to avoid reading the many books I keep bringing home.

Pride and Prejudice. Good Omens.

The Vorkosigan saga, but especially Barrayar, Memory, and A Civil Campaign. One of my criteria for moving out for college was I have my own copy of A Civil Campaign, it was an essential item!

For stand-alone novels, I've read The Yiddish Policemen's Union about 6 times in the past 8 years.

I've reread the entirety of Harry Potter and Animorphs dozens of times.

I've also read Misery a ton of times and a couple Amelie Nothomb books.

Born Confused and the Oracle trilogy are the books I re-ead the most.

The Hobbit and Silmarillion

Some that have already been mentioned (Ella Enchanted, A Wrinkle in Time), but also - the Valdamar books by Mercedes Lackey. Mostly just the Arrows of the Queen trilogy, but others too.

I'll go on sprees where I want to re-read one of Tamora Pierce's Tortall books, then get sucked into reading the entire universe again.

I like to read my favorite parts of Hamlet now and then.

Then sometimes the mood will hit where I'll want to read some romance, so I usually go the Jennifer Crusie route. Though it's been awhile.

I'm big on re-reading. In fact I should probably stop and read some of the books I've been given or gotten that I've yet to get to...

Honestly, cheap original slash fiction. Like the kind you can buy for a dollar on Amazon. They are usually terrible, but it's gay porn on my kindle. I'm not proud of it, and I would love to say War and Peace or some shit, but that would be a lie.

The only books I reread (or listen to again) are the Harry Potter series, Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion, and North & South.

I've re-read Dream Boy (once), the first two Nightrunner books (once - my intention was to re-read the first three around the time that the fourth came out to refresh my memory for the fourth, but I never got around to re-reading the third, and they're now up to I think eight or something, so obviously I'm going to need to re-read the first and second again, too, whenever I decide to get back to that series), the Flowers in the Attic series (I know it was at least once, but I think it might've actually been twice), Lost Souls (multiple times), started re-reading Drawing Blood but never actually finished the second time, The Bottoms (twice, and I want to read it again someday) and...I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them right now.

There are some series I'll probably re-read eventually because I stopped reading midway through and will need to refresh myself on what happened before picking back up, especially since there's also a TV show and I know I'm confused on what happened in the books vs. on the show (Southern Vampire Mysteries/True Blood, Pretty Little Liars, Dexter). Or some where I read a book (or books) from the series out of order and want to go back and read the whole series (the Sharon McCone series, and Charles Todd's series).

Then there are also books that I enjoyed and just want to re-read for the hell of it: Jeanne Kalogridis's vampire trilogy (also because I was a kid when I read it and I know there's probably a lot that went over my head), probably a few of Chuck Palahniuk's books (at the very least, Invisible Monsters), The Bone Garden, The Thin Red Line (at least I think that's the title, it's by Joe R. Lansdale), My Sweet Audrina, one of Christopher Rice's books that I can't think of the title of, and probably a bunch of others that I can't think of right now.

...apparently it's all the shallow/trashy ones that I've re-read (or want to) lol

Cirque Du Freak.

Though I am rereading Goblet of Fire for the third time in about two months. It's just my favorite HP book.

I try to read the complete Calvin and Hobbes every summer.

I've read Elizabeth Marie Pope's "The Perilous Gard" dozens of times, maybe over 100, beginning when I was 11 years old. I identified with Kate so much that now when I read it, I feel like I'm reading about myself and I can see which aspects of her personality I absorbed into my own. For better or for worse (I know I wasn't as shy and reserved as she was when I first read it, and I was afterwards).

Tolkien and some of the Star Wars EU.

Sherlock Holmes. I'm rereading The Sign of Four right now.

The Hunger Games and The Millennium Trilogy (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo etc.). I couldn't even tell you why.

It makes me sound like pseudo-philosophical edgelord, but I honestly just really love 1984 as a story, so I end up re-reading that a lot.

I re-read Misery a lot too, mostly when I'm feeling homesick for Colorado. Stephen King's got some issues, but his love of the Rockies is pure as hell. And Misery's a good story, besides.

My reading habits on my Nook are as such: I read one I haven't read before, then I re-read an old favorite, then a new one, then an old fave, and so on. Mostly I re-read my favorite Discworld books and the Harry Potter series, but sometimes I also re-read one of the many horsey books I devoured over an over as a horse-mad child, or Watership Down or The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings.

Since no one else has said this yet: I am one of those people who almost never rereads books.

I tend to read a lot of "high brow" lit and "challenging" lit and such, so it's not that I'm stupid; I'm just rarely able to emotionally engage with written fiction the way most heavy readers seem to do. I mean, I do have emotional reactions to what I read, but usually it's in a more abstract, ideational way - as opposed to an "it feels like I'm living the story" sort of way. My id doesn't really get hooked, I guess.

And that makes me a lot less likely to reread a book. Because if that emotional hook wasn't there the first time through, it'll be even less present the second time through.

I used to be one of those people that never rereads a book, but I have reread The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Just the first novel. I've also read the first Gossip Girl novel three times.

I've started rereading novels because lately I'll start a series and take so long to read the whole thing that I have to start over again to remember what's going on.

Probably the one series I have read mutliple times is the Elenium and Tamuli series by David Eddings, which probably comes by dint of being one of my very first novel series, having originally got "The Diamond Throne" when I was 11.

I have reread the Crystal Singer trilogy by Anne MacCaffery a few times.

The original Black Jewels trilogy as well, though some of the later books annoy me a bit.

I have probably reread the Silmarillion more than once too.

I actually don't read much in the way of books these days, but that's because a lot of my reading now is fanfic.
