What's a book that you could read OVER and OVER and OVER again?

Mine...would haveta be my Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban book.

That is one of my most prized possessions actually. I mean, I LOVE the book, it's the best one outta the 5...and EVERYTIME I read it, I love it more and more...but it's one of my prized possessions b/c 1.) My dad gave it to me in 4-5th grade as a gift one night. I remember it perfectly...I just got it out of the library...and the hold lists were ridiculously long...and NEwayz...I came home and I'm like, "I GOT THE THIRD HARRY POTTER BOOK!" and my dad says, "I just bought that for you today!" He had bought Jane (from Tarzan) Barbie dolls for my sisters...and that for me, and he wrote a message in it, and he was gonna put it on my pillow. 2.) My Ewan McGregor autograph is the bookmark...hehehe...I really hope that autograph is authentic.

So does NE1 else have NE books they are obsessed with or am I just a freak of nature?

Nine Princes in Amber
by Roger Zelazny

I would be embarassed to admit how many times I've read it over the years. It's the first book in a ten volume series about alternate universes. It was kind of a life changing experience.

I love the book "Daddy Long Legs" by Jean Webster (great niece of Mark Twain). An obscure book from 1912 that I just love. I've read it like 20 times and own 5 copies of it

Also love:

"Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen

"Rebecca: by Daphne DuMaurier

"Alice Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll

Crimson and Clover · 09-27-2003, 03:19 AM

Helter Skelter. Ive read it a number of times.

AnaheimPMWitch · 09-27-2003, 03:26 AM

i've got a few
I LOVE Practical magic by Alice Hoffman its MUCH better then the movie and goes into more Detail
and currently I'm HOOKED on the CSI books (even if theres WAY TO MUCH Grissom/Saraness in there ITS SUPPOSED TO BE Nick AND SARA DANG IT okay i'm fine now REALLY) Anyways the books are great if you love the show I suggest reading the books as well

webuster · 09-27-2003, 06:15 AM

I liked 'Through the Looking Glass' as well, but 'Adventures in Wonderland' was nowhere near as good.

Ellen's first book is great (her second is out next month) and when I was about 7 or 8 I read RL Stines Fear Street Series, I read the 'Who's Been Sleeping in My Grave' about 8 times, and I read the 'Night of the Living Dummy' series about 4 times (even when a new 'Night of the Living Dummy' comes out I still but them, just to see where the story goes).
