I loved that book to puppy! The first time I read it was four years ago. It was a book the school required us to read. I have been meaning to by it, but I just went broke from buying books. Another book I want to buy in the Bridge to Teribithia (sp?).
I might never read them, but it never hurts to own the great children classics.

Marley & Me - John Grogan.
Great for the animal lover. A funny novel about a crazy yellow lab who does crazy things. Written in the dog's owner's perspective.
The Guests of War Trilogy - Kit Pearson.
An awesome series about a girl and her younger brother who are sent to Toronto, Canada from their home in England during the second world war.
Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging - all of the books in the series, by Louise Rennison.Just a really funny, easy-read series. About a teenage girl who does teenage things - with the addition of her crazy family and vicious cat.

Those books I have never read or heard of. XD They honestly do not appeal to me, but I will keep a lookout for them. I like how Barnes and Nobles lets you read the books there; as long as you do not damage them. I spend hours there, but even so, I have already spent over $200 in books this year. Possibly more, but who counting?

It's probably my favourite book. <33

I haven't seen or read this yet. I have been tempted to buy it. I do not like watching the movies before I read the book. XD I tend to like criticizing movies. Espicially the last Harry Potter one :P
This one shall be on my to buy list ^^

With me, I do not care if I have read them or not. I buy them anyways. It is something I can pass down to my children, if I ever care to have any. If not, my sister's children, cousins, etc. Reading in general is my favorite past time. And it is something I can discuss and debate about it a friend and a nuisance at school XD

[."The Wish" by Gail Carson Levine. It sort of shows up wherever I go. I'll see it on a desk in the library, then read it. I also have it somewhere in my house. I just love the book. I read it around in 5th grade. I remember when I was obsessed with Gail Carson Levine :).]

Oh... There are just so many. I'll start with my most favorite book ever.
Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith. It's actually two books, Crown Duel and Court Duel combined but yeah... (Great book, everyone who likes fantasy or rebellions or magic, go look it up. And the other books by the author, specifically Inda and a short story called "Beauty" which is in the original Firebirds anthology.)
All of the books in Lauren Willig's flowers series, The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, The Masque of the Black Tulip, and The Deception of the Emerald Ring.
My favorite classic is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
There are so many more books, but these are my absolute favorites to read when I'm feeling lousy.

Twilight and New Moon by Stephanie Meyer I think thats how you spell her last name. The last of the series is yet to come out so I'll probably be reading it over and over again as well.
Excellent books that I read again and again and again...
Also Linda Hamilton and even Janet Evanovich I now and again re-read...

I own the circle of magic series by tamora pierce and have probably read 'em a gazillion times each o__o
ironically, that all started at a book fair in 7th grade when I bought the used book for $1. xDD
I also can't stop reading sarah dessen's The Truth about Forever and This Lullaby. its like my reading sweet tooth D: my craving.
I also reread dan brown works every once in a while.
those are times when the saying "you find something new every time you read a book" really comes to truth. xDD
I literally do discover something new every time~

'The Vampire Armand' - Anne Rice
I have no idea WHY I can read this over and over again. Maybe because I have a huge girly-fan crush on Armand.
Or that my teenage love of the semi-erotic writing.
But I love that book to death.
'Catch 22' - Joseph Heller
Probably because you NEED to read it a couple of times.
But I've read it at least 5 times. and well.
I still just pick it up every now and then and start to re-read it.
I've also half re-read a couple of the Harry Potter novels, but I find it hard. I love the series, but.
The 4th re-read just makes it loose its edge a little.
(+ reading fanfiction means you just..can't not giggle at some character interactions).

Raymond E. Feist is a favorite. I started out with his Fairy Tale and it was amazing. His Empire series is good. I read the first one through in a night, the second one is ok and the third one is real slow.

My rereadables...
- the Bas-Lag books of China Mieville, which are HUGE undertakings every single time as they are simply so dense and I never want to miss a word
- 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which if I lived in the universe of Fahrenheit 451 would be the one I'd memorize
I used to re-read Elvenbane every few years, but not any more, I think I managed to read it enough times that, for once, it was finished!

I read Jane Eyre for the first time in third grade. I've read it five times since then. This is my freshman year in college and I just finished it for the fifth time. I really appreciate a lot of the subtleties that went unnoticed when I was a child. It's an amazing read. I love classics. I'm also really enjoying Keats Odes for a second time. Especially his Ode To Autumn poem. It's really pregnant with vivid imagry.

I've got a shelf full of books I can't stand to lose. They're so good for a rainy day/power outage, lol.
The Guests of War Trilogy by Kit Pearson - a sad story about English children who come to Canada during WWII. Very nice read.
City Kid by Mary MacCracken - another sad little story. One of those books you can just read for hours.
Lord of the Rings book Three by JRR Tolkien - Always my favorite of the set! I love the ending especially, the cleaning out of the Shire and etcetera.
Harry Potter books 1 though 3 by JK Rowling - good for a quick read, the story gets intense after these. They're my favorites because I can read one in a sitting, but book 5 is my favorite overall.
The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan - my favorite of the series because (a) it's loaded with action and doesn't plod as the later books do, and (b) it's not too intensive.
How much for just the Planet? by John M. Ford - ohemgee, a Star Trek book! I *adore* it. The humor's just too funny, even for non-trekkies.
