^^ Always good to reread. I have never had a book I have reread that I didn;t find anything new or something i didn't notice before. I guess the mind automatically registers and translates things the more you read and the more you understand about the small details that did not have no apparent reason in the book. XD

The Vampire Lestat, Twilight, Sunshine, Inkheart, The Sea of Trolls

Bitten, Mooncalled, The Vampire Lestat, Dragon's Breath, Once upon a curse, cobwebs, most likely to die, SUNSHINE!

XD You guys could be a little more explanatory, like telling why you were encouraged to reread these books.

Books I can't help but read over and over again!!!!

- Love Triangle
- Interview with a vampire
- Ghost Wars
- The vampire Lestat
- Queen Of The Damned


That's about it

There are several books that I would LOVE to read over and over again, depending on what genre, and such :)


My side of the mountain- I at least read that book..eight times?
I don't even know why I like it that much! Usually I like comedy/romance books, but it's so tempting!! I love that book!
Short summary: About a boy from new york who lives in the wild...has so much detail..and how he realize certin things.

Meri Puri-(anime/manga book) A book about magic, A boy appears randomly at a place, meets a girl who falls for him...BUT he's little...he turnrs older by the dark...
Comment: I sugest book strongly...comedy/adventure (kinda) things all the way!!!

Ultra Maniac-Adventure, magic, friendship
About: Girl who comes from the magic world, hides her indentedy, makes new friends, discovers new enemys, etc.

Chronicles of Narnia, all eight. I can't help it, I love them. My mom read them to me for the first time when I was like 4 or 5 and I have probably read/heard them 15 times sense then.

Hee hee, I have a lot!

- Lord of the Rings: First read it when I was in fourth grade, and I have never stopped loving it. I'd definitely include "The Hobbit" in here with those. I always find new things to appreciate. Hobbits never bore me. I've read this about 12 times now.

- Harry Potter (first 3): These are the ones that hooked me. I sometimes read the fourth one, but when I get to book 3, I always want to stop because I didn't like the fifth one. I like how playful the first three are, too-- and that doesn't get shown a lot in the next ones.

- Chronicles of Narnia: I like to try to read them in order, but I always get tripped up over whether I should stop before the last chapter of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in order to read The Horse and His Boy to do it in order.

- The Winter Prince (Elizabeth Wein): A realistic version of Arthur told by his son Medraut. The language in it captivated me, and I fell in love with the somewhat snotty Lleu.

- The Enchanted Castle (E. Nesbit): I don't know why I keep reading this. I guess because I just like all the strange things that keep happening. Something about that ring intrigues me.

- The Princess Bride: I read this over and over because I like to laugh my ass off. I swear, I found it almost twice as funny as the movie. What's even funnier is that I actually believed that there was a book by Morganstern out there for the longest time. Until, of course, I realized that Florin does not exist.


And I'm sure there are more. Those are just off the top of my head.

Winter.<33

Hmm. I like reading Hard Love. I love that book.
And I forget the exact name but it's something like, Diary of a teenage boy. It's weird but good. :3

Enchanted castle shound very famaliar to me, but I am not quite sure if I read it or not. I loved the Princess Bride as well. ^^ It was very funny

The Winter Prince I have been staring at for quite a while, but was never quite sure of it. Maybe now I can get myself to buy it ^^

GLASSIE! <3

xD Never heard of that

=D *Tackles*

Which one?xD

xD Both.

When did you join?

I've actually recently started re-reading the Sunflower. If you haven't read it yet, it's amazing. It's a memoir by Simon Wiesenthal and it's about his experiences in the concentration camp. There have been many responses written to the book including one by the Dali Llama!! The main question people have been answering is what would you have done? Wiesenthal was asked by a dying Nazi soldier for forgiveness for the awful things he had done. So the question is...what does one say to that?

I'm also reading The Other Boleyn Girl. I love the book so far, but it's 661 pages so it's quite the heavy read the first time, never mind a second time..(I'm a really, really slow reader.)

Re-reading any book is fun because you notice a lot of things you might not have before. Specifically foreshadowing stands out more.

I joined April 5th. But i've hardly been on until last night.xD

Oh well Hard Love is about this boy who he's never liked a girl, doesn't really have ALOT of friends. Then he writes these zines and meets this girl who writes them, she's a lesbian but he falls in love with her. It's good.

The diary one is about this boy and how he moved, got kicked out of school but he goes back and forth and it's like he's seeing things but then he's flashing back and it's weird. It's good though.
Another good one is I'm not esther or something like that.
It's about a girl who's mother drops her off at her aunt's and uncles and cousin's house and they have this religion where all girls wear dresses/skirts down past their knees and knee long dress is too short.
No tv or stuff. Girls get married at 16, people choose who they marry, their little town doesn't beleive in college. And the family had another daughter who they say is dead but really they disowned her because she drew art and art was only allowed if it was in God's name or something. And they disown any family that doesn't abide by those rules. It's good too.

I could read The Silver Brumby over and over again. I've read it alot!
Thats the first one in the series, but i dont like the others as much.

I cannot stand reading books more than once. It bores the crap out of me cuz I know what's going to happen. It may have been years since the last time I read it and I may not remember what happened through most of the books but if I try to read it, the stuff comes back to me as I read it.
It sucks really cuz I try to read books that I read in fourth grade and really can't remember anything about it but the ending, but I wanna chuck it out the window cuz it's all familiar and I know what's happening.
It's the same with movies. *ubersigh*

I've only actully reread five books. HP 1-4 and The Rats of NIHM or whatever it was.

Those books sound interesting ^^

I've only actully reread five books. HP 1-4 and The Rats of NIHM or whatever it was.

To each his or her own. I do not have that problem. I like to read and it doesnt matter how many times I reread a book, because I always find something new that i overlooked.

Most people who have that problem hate to read in the first place or do not have an imagination to create off the book.

There are also some kids books that I love to reread periodically. One of those is Sweetwater by Lawrence Yep. Others of his books that I like to reread are Child of the Owl and Dragon's Gate. Those books... I really don't know what exactly it is about them, but they're enchanting. They suck me in quite thoroughly. Anyway, there's also The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander. It's the only one of his books that I've read, but I keep rereading it (and only it), even though there are more books to the story. X-D It's weird like that.

Sweetwater is my favorite out of those. It's about this young human boy who lives on a planet far out in the galaxy, a planet of the star Spica, which is in the constellation Virgo. The planet was colonized by men from Earth a very long time ago, but after it was started, it was abandoned, even though there were still people there. So these people thrived and made their own way of life. It's all about his adventures with the native aliens of the place and his fellow humans on the colony, and how misunderstandings and prejudice can run just as deep as love and goodwill.

Child of the Owl is about a young Chinese girl who comes to live with her grandmother in Chinatown, in San Francisco, probably in the mid-20th century. Her grandmother, a direct immigrant from China, gives her granddaughter a jade pendant, which she had had since she was a little girl. It doesn't have magic powers or anything, but with it, the girl gradually comes to understand her ethnicity and the wonderful folklore and 'magic' of China that she represents. It's been a long time since I've read this one. ^_^' I don't remember it all that well, but I think I've got the gist.

The Black Cauldron is a fairly well-known story. They made a movie about it a long time ago, but it was a cartoon movie, and not many people saw it. It's about this boy named Taran who dreams of going on adventures like his hero, Gwydion. At the moment, though, Taran is Assistant Pig Keeper for a pig who is said to be 'very special,' and it looks like things will stay that way for a while. So Taran takes matters into his own hands, and makes a book out of it. ^_^ I'm not really sure what it is about this book that keeps drawing me back to it, but every time I pick it up, I read it all the way through. *shrug*

Dragon's Gate I only pick up once in a very blue moon. It's about immigrant Chinese miners in California, probably set in the early 20th century. (See a pattern? ^_^) Beyond that, I don't remember. I remember that the book sucked me in just as thoroughly as the rest of them, so it must have been good.

I don't usually finish books but the one that I did finish and plan to read again as soon as I get it back from my cousin is Memoris of a Geisha.

You two listed books I really do like ^^

xD Well I came on and got this thing from the easter event then kept forgetting to come on because everytime I came on nobody I knew was on and I felt bored.

But I like it.
They are good.^^
I also read this onewhere this girl went over to Europe to live with her aunt and like 5 cousins for awhile. Her and her cousin fell in love.XD
Then this whole war went on and they got seperated from each other and endured all this stuff. Eventually she went back to the US to be with her dad, years later she came back to Europe and the cousin she fell in love with was like traumatized from the war and mad and bitter to her because he loved her and they promised they'd never leave each other. It was good.xD

O god, yes! Buy it!! It's totally worth it. Or at least get it from the library and read it. I heard that she came out with a second book that comes after The Winter Prince and I cried from happiness. I've been reading it since I was in middle school. I'm about to go to graduate school, and I still love it.

Enchanted Castle was about this old castle and a ring that granted various wishes. It was really charming.
