Do you have a book that you've read more than twice?

The only books I will read again are Agatha Christie novels. I love mysteries but hers are just classics that I can read over and over again. Oh, I lied, when I was younger, I loved Nancy Drew. Whenever I get my hands on one, I will read it again, even though it's a bit juvenile. It's still fun reading.

Actually all the books that I have I've read more than 5 times. No lie. For me reading a good book is like listening to music, and getting into my zone. You're able to escape and slip into a different lifestyle, even if it's only temporary. And to be honest I feel like reading all of those books yet again.

I love to re-read books. a lot of people who won't re-read books, strangely, will buy DVDs of films they've seen before. when you re-read a book you notice more about it, and get to re-visit stories that you love, or involve you completely. it's more like going back somewhere you love going for holidays.

You have a very interesting question. I'm a person who loves to read. Definitely, I have a list of my favorite books. I read them more than twice because it's fun and it feels good. Sometimes, I just want to read books that are predictable so I read books again and again. I have one book which is my most favorite I think I've read it more than 10 times. ^^

There are a couple books I re-read, The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Catcher in the Rye. I really identify with those characters, and I love re-reading the books and discovering new things I never noticed before. I also like going back and re-reading novels from when I was a young adult, like John Knowles' "A Separate Peace," because I like to see what I catch now having an English degree versus before, being a "lowly" sixth grader.

Yes. Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel. Fantastic classics. I never get bored reading these books :)

I do have books I've read twice, but I don't think I've read a book more than that. Not that there aren't any books that worth being read more than twice, but I get new books to read so I don't have the time to read the old ones again and again... and again.

Hi Pompon, I don’t have the habit to reread any story book or novel that I had read before unless I need any further reference from it. Anyway I read only the stuffs which I want on certain pages only if I look for any reference. Yeah, since I’m quite familiar with the content or story of the book I had read so it couldn’t arouse any of my interest to read it the second time again I would rather like and have more interest as well to read a new book during my spare time. Anyway I could learn more new things and stories from new books than that in the old one. posting and take care.

Yes, I read most od my books several times. Sometimes I get bored with the book and don't read it again for a while. But, I always go back to my favorites.

I have a lot of books that i've read it twice or even more. Everytime i feel like reading and don't have a new one, or just because i want to read again that specific book. That hapens a lot with Nicholas Sparks books

Elic, my old roomie & now fellow MyLoter, among other things, is like that. She rereads books a LOT, or used to when we were roomies, at least. I, OTOH, have to wait 'til I really can't recall how things went before I can reread one. Since I have a LOOOOONG memory, that takes years! LOL! But once I DO reread it, it usually isn't long before it all pops back into my head, & at that point, I quit. And if it really was SO forgettable that I can't remember the way it ended, then why should I waste my short life doing THAT again? Of course, there are SOME exceptions to this, particularly poetry, & really brilliant prose (such as Shakespeare). There, the thrill isn't how it ENDS, but the journey itself. THOSE books I read BEFORE I forget, just to make sure I remember! Maggiepie

Yes. If I really like the story I read them more than twice. Sometimes even the movie adaptation I will also try to watch and later compare. I like reading very much & I also like collecting copies of the books I like to read.

I am the kind of person that will read a book more than twice. And in different moments in my life(they contain a moral, something I wish to reread again, a story that touch my heart) There are books that caught my attention and full of suspense that I will only read once because well the suspense is gone. A good example for me is Bag of bones by Stephen King. I love that book and read it once, the magic was gone after knowing the end.

I'm the person who will read the book again n again if i like it... hahaha... tat's y i still hv a lots of new books hvn read yet... hahaha... I think my record is reading the books for almost 10 times.... i won't feel bored on reading the same book coz i like it so much n everytime when i finish the book, i will hv difference thinking... so i like to read again n again for all my books... =)

I have never read the same book twice. I cannot get any please from reading a book when I already know how it will end. I will watch a movie of a book I have read even knowing the ending I enjoy seeing it through someone else's eyes.

I have read the books on my shelves several times. They are all related to Zen and spiritual development which is my work and my passion. I often get more insight after re-reading the books, but that is the nature of Zen :-)

Hi Pompon! I am a voracious reader. In my list of books to read are countless no. of books so I don't get time to re-read any of previous book. May be sometime when I've nothing in hand I might consider re-reading and there are few books which I want to read them again. Happy reading!

Only one, Lord of the Rings, 4 times, usually I only have to read the first page and I remember the whole story, but this book I just love, it's like visiting with old friends. I guess it's really 3 books.

Hi, Pompon. I think I'm just like you with regards to reading books twice -- I don't. Even if it's a book I really liked at first, I just can't bring myself to read something already knowing what happens next. Which is why, even though I like reading, I'm not much of an avid book collector. The number of books I actually own could be counted using the fingers of both hands. *lol* The only book that I enjoy reading over and over again is The Little Prince, because every time I read that book, even if the events are essentially the same, the impact of certain parts on me always differ, depending most of the time, on my real life experiences. The first time I actually read the book was when I was... 16, I think. And then I read it again when I was 20 and it seemed as though I was reading the book for the first time, what with the new insights I gained.

no beacuse the first time is different from the second coz u already know whats going to happen
