Re: Which book have you re-read the most?
Not much of a repeat reader. I don't think I've ever read a book more than twice.
Like umm...Le Petit Prince, first in French then in English.
Ahh then there's Catcher in the Rye. Some Shakespeare, Hamlet and Twelfth Night, I think.

Wow, I don't think I've read through that one more than twice, and one doesn't count as it was in French translation and an incomplete edition (somebody just left all the appendices aside)

Re: Which book have you re-read the most?
I read LOTR first when I was 7 (probably 8 when I finished.) After that I reread it at least once a year until I was 16 and then once again at 18 and again at about 24. Not read it since but that all adds up to 10 or 11 times.JimC wrote:Probably Lord of the Rings...
I am sure that there were books I read much more than that though. Stuff like Noddy and Dr Seuss that I would read pretty much daily when I was 4!
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

I've done LoTR twice. Last time was probably 15 years ago. It's due for a reread soon.Svartalf wrote:Wow, I don't think I've read through that one more than twice, and one doesn't count as it was in French translation and an incomplete edition (somebody just left all the appendices aside)

I forgot about how much I used to be into Nietzsche.. If you count audiobook listenings, I've probably 'read' a lot of his writing several times over.

Re: Which book have you re-read the most?
I've read 1984 a lot of times as well, but I couldn't put a number on it. I rarely re-read books from start to finish. I dip in and out, reading sections of varying length, sometimes hundreds of pages.

Re: Which book have you re-read the most?
I think there where quite a few that I would have re-read many times when I was a kid, but I can't remember any specifically - but they'd probably still be on some shelf in my parents' house.
Certainly one of the first three Harry Potter books, since I re-read most of them each time a new one was coming out.
I've read most of the discworld novels twice and some three times.
But I'm concentrating now on as many different books as I can, so there won't be many more re-reads at least for a while.
