There are many books that I have re-read. The mark of a good/great book is one that compels you to return for another go. There are many reasons for a re-read:
- You missed something the first time. I do this a lot. Usually it is because I read at night and I fall asleep and forget
- It is exciting
- It tugs at your heartstrings
- You can relate to it
- It is so well written that you enjoy it just as much as the first time
- It brings back memories of where you were when you first read it.
So here is a list of books that I have read more than once, not in any particular order (not even alphabetical you ask? Nope, not even alphabetical…)
- Ready Player One
- Alive
- Breakfast of Champions
- Slaughterhouse Five
- The Foundation Trilogy (and beyond)
- Ringworld
- Klondike
- Cather in the Rye
- The Stand
- The Long Walk
- The Chrysalids
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (and the other ones)
- A Canticle for Leibowitz
- The Arctic Grail
- Oryx and Crake
- A Wrinkle in Time
- The Lord of the Rings
- The Chronicles of Narnia
- The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (and all The Far Sides)
There’s probably more…What books have you read over and over (or just over)?

I’ve read only one of these more than once – The Catcher in the Rye – at least 3 times. I thought my kids would love this book but they hated it. Thought Holden was too whiny!

I think he wasn’t afraid to say what he really thought.

True – teenagers now don’t relate to that I guess. It’s a different world.
