Books that you can read over again?

Question

i just wanted ideas because i am looking for a new book to read but i wanted to be really good enough to read over and over again.

YA would be good but Adult fiction is fine.

as long as its fiction its ok.

Answer 1

A Time for Dancing, and Born Blue are my favorite books that I've read at least 4 times each=)

Answer 2

Is fantasy okay? One of my favorite books is Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, and I've read it so much the spine is basically broken in half.

Answer 3

It's been a VERY long time since I read YA books, even when I was a young adult! 2 books that I read at least once a year are The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub and Other Voices Other Rooms by Truman Capote.

The Talisman is just an amazing story told by two spectacular storytellers. I don't have a lot of respect for King any longer, after reading a lot of stories and books by Richard Matheson (King's admitted biggest influence) and noting the simliarities, but I can't deny that this book is fabulous.

Other Voices Other Rooms is a little different. It's a very haunting book filled with imagery and loneliness. It's a tough read at first, but if you give it another try, you'll fall in love with it. The characters are so rich and full of personality that it's hard not to feel something for all of them, even the ones you dislike.

Best of luck!

**I just read the other answers and I have to admit Gone With the Wind is a lot to take on, but I would read it again in a second!!!! It's 10 times better than the movie was!**

Answer 4

There are several that I read over and over and over again.  Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is probably the one I've read the most.  Others I've read a lot include The China Garden by Liz Berry, I Was a Teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block, Persuasion by Jane Austen, the whole Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde, and all of the Tortall books by Tamora Pierce, particularly the Song of the Lioness quartet and the Immortals quartet.

Answer 5

We the Living by Ayn Rand.

Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.

These are really good books. Highly recommended!
