I reread books I'm not particularly fond of every few years.Books I love I reread all the time!!!!!!! I will often reread one book at the same time as when I'm reading a new book.What are some of your favorite(s) books you've read over and over and over again?
hunger games, maxride book 1. some of the warriors books, the first book in the omen of the stars series i read heaps.
Reckless, Peter Pan, Kane Chronicles, and many more that I can't remember right now, but those are my tops XD
:). as soon as i get an awesome book i read it a couple of times, forget about it for a month then read it again XD
I really never forget a book, but it's fun to re-read when you haven't in a long time XDOoh! I remembered! Another series I read over and over is the Tiger's Curse XD THAT is EPIC!
Cool!!!!!!!! I've read some books so ragged I practically memorized the whole thing!!!!!A couple have been The Mysterious Benedict Society series,The Kingdom Keepers series,Peter and the Starcatchers series,Wings,Wide-Awake Princess;and I'm rereading the Artemis Fowl series!!!!!! I own the first of the Kane Chronicles and read the second one only once,but I haven't read the new one. :-(
:D tried to get it at the library;too many holds tho!!!!!
I got mine before it went on the shelves! XD since I like hung out on the website everyday until it came into the system lol ;)
I think the Kane Chronicles would make awesome movies!!!!!!!!
Same with a bunch of books...I stalk that library lol and I'm known as Mary Poppins girl because they say I keep pulling books out of my backpack when I return them haha! XD I read a LOT
that is fun!!!!!!! I love to read too!!!!!which kind of explains why I'm on goodreads!!!!Lol although with school in session I can't get much done.
hahaha I read at night lol...I'm allowed to if I do all my school for that day...and I stay up to 11 most nights reading XD
Love tiger's curse, own the whole series XD. Haven't read the kane chronicles... i read at night until like 10, :) do you read fast or slow?
for me it depends on(1) how much I like the book,(2)how much time I have to devote to it.If I don't really care for it,it can take up to 3 months for me to finish it.And if I simply have too much to do,then it can take about the same time to finish.like right now,school is pretty much dominating my week,and I go out with my family on weekends;so I haven't been able to get through a single book. :S But during the summer,I will read from sunup to sundown and finish an entire 500-page book in one day!!!!!!!!
Uh....I read like crazy fast lol...I read Tiger's Curse in like three hours lol and I've read a 500 page book in about 5 lol. Hunger Games I read in 2 hours lol...cause when I started it, I really had no idea what it was about only that my friend kept telling me to read it, and that it was a super-pop book. ;)

Sage wrote: "I'm the only one of my friends who can re-read books voluntarily."Seriously??? I re-read voluntarily all the time lol! XD
Meh...I take the time to re-read whether I have it or not lol ;) I'm that much of a book addict haha
Time is such a weird thing......
Especially when it's in a book that deals w/ time travel...... O.o
in this one,Artemis Fowl:the Time Paradox,Artemis goes back in time,but according to the time paradox theory,he has already gone back in time in the future,which turns into the past,which is currently the present.The author himself said it was confusing!!!!!! :D
ikr?Artemis is going back in time now(in the present).But it is not the initial time he has done it.He has already done it in the future;therefore he must do it in the present in order to keep the pattern of time flowing smooth.So from the present timeline,he has done it in the future,therefore he has also done it in the past(if he has already done it in the future,he has already done it,thereby making it a past action),therefore he must also do it in the present. :S that gives me a headache!!!!! XD

Similar for me but it also depends on whether I purchased the book. If I purchased it then I usually read it several more times. I rarely read library books again but I have done that also.

sounds really confusing lol....time travel books usually are by the genre lol its like its the rule haha
Yeah!!!!It makes a sort of flawed sense to me,but I always have to go through the reasoning about a bajillion times before I even semi-comprehend it. :S
:D I don't blame you either!!!!!!

Andso true!!!!! I reread lihrary books again only if I absolutely love the book.Otherwise I'll jus forget about it.And maybe find it in the bookstore and wonder if I've read it,end up buying it,and realizing that,yes,it was that one I read from the library.... Lol. :D

Oh Tabitha, I have done the very same thing. We were laughing at the library the other day as another lady had done that too. I also watch movies over not realizing I have seen them. I think certain titles appeal to us and I know certain covers really get me.
I would rather read a good book over 5 times than start on a book I do not like!

I have about 53 Norah Lofts books and I have read every single one of them more than once. Her writing just greatly appeals to me.

XD lol yup....sometimes if something I don't like (like a S** scene or a lot of swearing) in a book from the library...I just stick it in my backpack and dont look at it until I bring it back...but I research what I'm going to read a bit before I get it...so that doesn't happen a lot thankfully lol
has anyone her read hades by alexandra addornetto? if ur under 13 like yours truly here, don't. got up to the page when jake tells what the price is then threw the book at the wall and yelled at my friend for telling me to read it :/
no,I haven't heard of it.and totally w/ you Tabi & Alice!!!!!!!!One book I tried rereading was Nick of Time by Ted Bell.When I first read it,I wasnt all that thrilled with it.This year,I found it at the library;and I thought,"Oh I remember this one!I bet I would like it now!"So I reread it again,and it was just the same as when I first read it. :S
