What is your favorite book to read again, and again, and again...

I reread Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City series about every 5 years.

The Fan Man by William Kotzwinkle is funny every time I read it.

I read too much really, but some favorites re-reads that haven’t already been mentioned include:

Brideshead Revisited; Evelyn Waugh
The Loved One “” “”
Vile Bodies “” “”

The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
The Unbearable Lightness of Being; Milan Kundera

The Reckoning; the Murder of Christopher Marlowe; Charles Nicholl

Practically anything by Steven Jay Gould & P. Quammen

Nostromo; Joseph Conrad

Midnight’s Children
The Satanic Verses; Salman Rushdie

That’s enough ideas for the moment!

I’ve read Good Omens three times now and am about ready for another round, since I’ve already forgotten most of it.

When I was in my early teens, I must’ve read the Brian Daley Han Solo books (Han Solo at Star’s End, etc.) about a dozen times each.

The winner for me, though, is Roy Blount Jr’s books of essays. Now, Where Were We? I’ve read at least a dozen times by now. He just rocks.

I find I tend to re-read almost all of my books but the most often re-read are:

Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain.

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest - Ken Kesey

Skeleton Crew - Stephen King

Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson

Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll

Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh

Also anything by Pratchett or Bryson.
