I may use Arabian Nights more than once, since I have a complete translation consisting of 6 books (then again I am happy if I read just one of those during the year).
The Wizard of Earthsea series is a reread, but I haven´t read them in over 20 years.
I have put the titles in the language I will be reading them (Danish or English), and the English title in brackets.
