Do you have ever read a book twice?

I only buy books that I really enjoy reading and stories that I think is worth the price. I usually buy the classics because it is well appreciated by any generation. I never buy novels because once I read them, I never really would like to read them again. From my explanation above, the books that I did buy are read more than once and what's great about them is the fact that my family members would also appreciate reading them instead of me and the girls alone. I usually get tips from my brother of what books are good to read and what are worth buying. Have a great MyLot experience today!

Yes, I sometimes do it, especially if I do not understand or there is a forgotten part of the book.

Yes right now i am rereading all books of Harry Potter that the purpose is educational. I am using it as a textbook thus, i have to go over it again intensively. I have reread some books of Sidney Sheldon and Danielle Steel. But those are because i love the stories.

Hi,camomile07,reading is a very good thing,it can make you gentle and give ou connotation,I love reading too. However,I haven't reading these days,in another words I feel I am wasteing the days,my work some times seems boring,so I just watch movie or play games to kill the time,I know it isn't right,every morning I wake up,I tell myself I should change to make life more meaningful,but everday seems a copy of yesterday, Ok,sorry to talk about myself so much,I am a chinese girl,so I like reading «dream of the chamber»,It was about 12 girls and a boy long long ago,it was a very good book,if you have chance,it worths reading. Wish you good luck.

For fiction book, i never read it twice. This is because i think there are so many books in this world that i haven read yet. For the movie also, i never intend to watch movie for second time. However, for non-fiction book or books that related to natural, travel, science or skills, i always will read again and again.

I have re-read the series of books from Tuesdays With Morrie, Five People You Will Meet in Heaven. Also the Dave Peltzer series was worth a second read. I like being able to re-read some books because I discover new things. I also use a lot of the Chicken Soup books for references so I know I use those a lot for work. I would love to say that I let people borrow my books, but I am kinda picky about that. I have loaned out my books in the past and had them end up not being returned, that I hesitate now unless I know they will be returned.

i have a few favourites that i like to read about once a year. one is a missionary story called the inn of 8th happiness and the others are fiction. i seldom read fiction but do read these once in a while.

I know I did. Not really sure though which books they were. Of course, they could be Stephen King's or Anne Rice's works because they are my favorite authors. I would read another book again if I do get the time, been planning but never got to it.

It depends on the book. If it is a meaningful or interesting book. I will read it again after some time. As time goes by, I may not remember every details of the book. So I will read it again as well as reading a new book. I love China

I do not enjoy reading but apparently i am a very good reader due to my lexile tests when i was in high school.I always used to think that reading a book more than once was a waste of time and stupid because you already know what is going to happen at the end and reading 300 pages more than once was boring.Until i read my favorite book of all time called you don't know me by david klass.I believe i have read that book about 7 times.lol It opened my eyes that if you're reading a really good book it is okay to read it more than one time even if you do already know whats going to happen.

I guess I've read the Harry Potter books more than once. they're like the only books I've actually liked a lot. I got the 3rd book a few summers ago and I just kept reading it over and over again when I was bored. It never gets boring for me... the series is really well written and I read every book except for the last one

Of course. If the book is good enough, i'll read it several times over. Not necessarily in a row, but a few years later, like I said - if it's a good enough book, I'll re-read it. And it's always fun reading it a 2nd or 3rd time, it's never boring, but you always notice something new during the times you re-read it, I feel like. I have a few that I love, including "Wasted: A Memoir" by Marya Hornbaucher, "Dry" by Augusten Burroughs, adn a few others that I can't think of on the spot.

I love my Stephen King books and I have read and re-read them three or more times each.I know them by heart!

I do have old favorites I'll read over again. But I try to leave some time in between, some years. I re-read Jane Austen, for example. Those books are classics and I find different nuances in them every time I read them again. Some books, like murder mysteries, I wouldn't read again because I can remember the outcome. Not so fun to read those over again.

Exactly, some books might be bored, but the interesting and non interesting are depand on the interest of the reader in my view. I read some book twice, honor killing is one which i read twice first.

I have many books by Stephen King and most of my other books are horrors, thrillers and crime. I have that many books that I do read them more then once and it's like reading a new book as it could be 3 years later when I re-read it. I can't wait till all the Sookie Stackhouse books have been written as when I've read the final one I will read them again from the beginning in order. Although I love Sookie and don't want them to end!

You are right, there are books which are interesting, boring, amusing, etc. I can read a book twice or several times over, it depends on how the book has affected me. For example, I read the Bible daily although I have read it in its entirety already. Then there are those inspirational books which we have that I get to read again when the time comes that I need its inspiration. For instance Rick Warren's The Purpose-Driven Life, one can really appreciate the contents even more after reading it all over again. Then the books of Mitch Albom, two of which are true stories. I love to read true stories again and again. Then if you kinda feel lonely and alone and you feel you need a book but there are no new books around and you can't get one, then you can go back to your books and find that amusing book you can read again. Books that are boring usually do not get your attention again. So there, I believe it all depends on how a book affects, to decide if you decide to read it again or not.

well as for me, i'm not that fond with reading. when i was a kid, i could never want to hold any kind of books. but then, even if i am this kind of a person, i still read. sometimes. and i have never read the books twice. even if it is interesting like the story hangs on my head in weeks, i could never read the same book again.

Oh yes thats true, i love reading too. I've read 4x the twilight saga. and also the wolf novel. And looking forward in a few days to buy a new book.

I only read books that are really excellent more than once. I have read the Harry potter series about 3 times for each book - I just love the magic and the mystery of them! I have also read the Horse Whisperer a few times, because I really love that book. Otherwise, I love getting second hand books from the second hand shop next door to me - it is so much cheaper than buying new books and once you have read them you can take them back and exchange them for another book, kind of like a library!
