What One Book Have You Read The Most Times

[BunnysBastatrds 2,310]

 Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Love that book.

[jerryskids 6,557]

Probably Lord of the Rings (I know, it's a series not a book) including the Hobbit.  At least twice, probably three times.

Books I've read twice include Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, The Source by James Michener, The Last Light of the Sun by Guy Gavriel Kay, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the Chronicles of Narnia (another series) by C.S. Lewis, The Giver Series by Lois Lowry.  Maybe DaVinci Code.

I'm looking at books in my library as I type this so it makes it easy.  Books striking me as "I should read that again" are An Instance of the Fingerpost by Iain Pears, and The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East

Great book.  Really insightful and helps one peer deeply into the corruption of power.

I don’t think I have re-read many books.

Going through books I was supposed to have read but prolly cheated and did Cliff’s Notes. Animal Farm recently. That was very good considering when it was written.

Read Grapes of Wrath a couple years back and liked that so went through most of Steinbeck’s stuff.

 My 2nd favorite Clancy book, after Without Remorse.

I think the only book I've read twice is Hunt for Red October

I go through the A Song of Ice and Fire books to chase down fan theories regularly.

I am kidding, that's one of the worst pieces of cr@p I've ever read in my entire life. 

Seriously, I've read "Outlander" a few times. Probably a few other smutty books you guys haven't ever heard of.

Readers Digest 

 

[seafoam1 2,799]

I read entertainment books over again more than history or whatever. Once I read something to learn something, then that is good enough unless it's serious complex.

For entertainment like Grisham or Patterson or King or Koontz or Poe, I'll read those more than once or twice.
