"I'd read that one again!" Topic

So, good books, bad books, now which book or series would you re-read?

I've re-read the Posleen series, and just finished re-reading the Looking Glass novels. I will re-read the Rivers of War from Flint. A couple of Coyles books, most notably his war against Mexico and the one set in Not-Bosnia.

Rainbow Six occasionally gets re-read.

Jim Butcher's Dresden Files.

Sorry, I tried the Posleen series and gave up on the
first one. Ringo just ain't my style.

I re-read Pratchett all the time, and find new humor in
each read.

I tried re-reading Turtledove, gave up.

Most of the military history I have, I can re-read w/o
problem.

Tolkien, Piper for Fiction

Many histories get the Bi-Annual read too

Stainless Steel Rat series

I've reread GM Fraser's stuff more times than I can remember, especially MacAuslan and Flashy.

I've been through the entire Aubrey/Maturin cycle six times and read select volumes more often.

Currently starting McCullough's Masters of Rome series for a second time.

I've probably read everything by Michael Moorcock three or four times now.

I'll vote for the Stainless Steel Rat series too.

I have worn out from re-reading:
All of the Flashman books
The Lord of the Rings
The Chinese Bandit
The Cruel Sea
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Shelby Foote's Civil War Trilogy

I re-read things all the time (just finished Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World for the second time). I limit the following to once a year, just to make sure I don't get carried away:

Sassoon's The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston

Childers' The Riddle of the Sands

Knight's The Falcon on the Baltic

I have read multiple times:

The Illiad
The Lord of the Rings

D~

Starship Troopers
The Wasp
The Foundation Trilogy

Lord of the Rings
Barry Hughart's Number Ten Ox stories
Glen Cook's Garrett Series
Terry Jones's Chaucer's Knight
Eric Frank Russel's Wasp amd Mext of Kin

Glen Cook's Garrett, PI series
and
Glen Cooks's Black Company series

Also The Great Siege by Ernle Bradford recounting the siege of Malta by the Ottoman Empire

Pretty much anything by Lois Bujold
Most Elmore Leonard novels
Pratchett
John Sandford's Prey novels
Both of Butcher's series (Dresden and the Codex books)
Maurice Walsh's historical novels
Lord of the Rings

Harpo Speaks!

The Hornblower books, LoTR, and most of Conan-Doyle's stuff.

As I have fairly carefull in chosing authors/books, I have reread probably 3/4s of everything I have ever read. My favorites I have reread many times. Particularly -

Doomsday Book, LOTR, Hobbit, HMS Ulyssess, the Bolitho novels, Thunderhead, Plague of Demons, Killer Angels, Always the Black Knight, Witch World, Three Hearts and Three Lions, and many others.

Histories I tend to read and then use as references thereafter, rereading passages when I do.

Fiction

The Lord of the Rings
Clancy's Without Remorse

Non Fiction

The Campaigns of Napoleon (twice already)
The Duel of Eagles (twice already)
Footes Trilogy
Wedgewood's ECW Trilogy
The Washing of the Spears
Landscape Turned Red
The Bible

I doubt I will ever re-read any books, there are simply too many unread ones in the cue. But I will doubtless listen to some of the books that I've read previously. Foote's Civil War trilogy will be definitely one of them, I'm already working my way through Hornblower books and I will absolutely return to Winter King trilogy by Cornwell.

There are so many it is hard to remember, fiction is generally obvious stuff like War & Peace, LOTR, Aubrey/Maturin, Flashy, Frank Herbert and Ray Bradbury. I have a soft spot for Nick Hornby, particularly High Fidelity.

Military history I can only think of a few classics like Campaigns of Napoleon, most stuff by both Alistair Horne and John Keegan, Wavro & Howard on the APW and FPW, the grumbling old Germans like Manstein, Guderian and Mellenthin. Paddy Griffths 'British Army Battle Tactics 1916-18', numerous works by Glantz, particularly 'The Soviet Conduct of Tactical Manouvre' and both of Chandlers books on Marlborough. Innumerable autobiographies, my favourites being 'Mailed Fist' by John Foley, 'Quartered Safe Out here' by George MacDonald Fraser and '18 Platoon' by Sidney Jary.

Just finished Red Storm Rising for the nth time last night. Man, I love that book. It makes me want to game!

Lord of the Rings

Heart of Darkness

Non-fiction = there are many

Forever War
Almost anything by Arthur C. Clarke
Dune, I am on my 2nd copy, the 1st one fell apart.
Tolkien

I reread books all the time, the above are just a few.

The Lord of the Rings (am currently rereading it for, oh, the 5th or 6th time).

Falcons of France: the only book I have read over 6 times.

I Claudius, and Claudius the God (I think 3 times, and I will probably reread it again).

The unedited Conan stories by Howard.

Prince Ombra.

The Drawing of the Dark.

Any Alfred Leo Duggan book.

I reread non fiction all the time, but I reckon those don't count.

But really, people, we need to get out more….

""""But really, people, we need to get out more….""""

I sit outside and read. So there.

I have also worn out my copies of Poul anderson's "Hrolf Kraki's Saga" amd "The Broken Sword".
Not a whole lot of laughs in either one…

I haven't even read all the books in my library, but a couple of books that have been re-read are:

Fritz Lieber's Newhon series
various "Thieves World" books
"Baa Baa Black Sheep" by Col Boyington
The Number of the Beast by Heinlein (mostly so I could figure out what I'd read as a teenager
