Is there one novel you've read more than once? What keeps bringing you back to it?

I just finished my third reading of George Orwell's 1984 six months ago. I believe that I have also read the Steven King novel Pet Sematary a couple of times as well. I see so many parallels in my life when I do a reading of 1984.

Shockingly true and appropriate for the conditions of today. I found the movie of Pet Sematary to be excellent. Fred Gwynne played his role perfectly and I picture him every time his character is in the book.

I read Martina Coles books over and over again. When I read her books I can imagine the places she describes and what the characters look like.

There are a few:1. ) James Clavell's 'Taipan'2. ) Francine Rivers' 'Redeeming Love'3.) William P.

Young's 'The Shack'I don't know what it is about them, but they really suck me into another enthralling reality. I love them! :).

Yes, several of them. Memorable characters, a great story line that I can relate to. The familiarity of a particular book will always offer a sense of comfort.It's like re-visiting an old friend.

Ken Follet's "Pillars of the Earth" James Clavell's "Shogun"Tolkien's "The Hobbit" I've read these at least twice. All three are written with such attention to detail that you are completely immersed in another time and place.

I'd rather say a favourite author - Victor Pelevin, some of his works are translated in English. He is the best Russian author now (modern). The first book I read, I barely understood, yet I loved it.

I thought I was high or he was high... LOLIt took me a few readings to really understand him (maybe I am still not quite there yet). He is very philosophical yet funny, so even if you don't connect all the dots, it is a pleasure to read. I think he is the author who influenced me the most.

I used to read and reread Erich Maria Remarque. Dostoevsky as well. In my opinion, books that are good are always worth rereading.

The Year of the Flood" is wonderful. It is by Margaret Atwood. And it is the companion book to "Oryx and Crake."First I read "Oryx and Crake" and I didn't want it to end so I read it again.

I've read To Kill A Mocking Bird a few times because it's so beautifully written, and it's a different book every time I go back. So this book that spoke to me so clearly when I was 15, last spoke to me when I was about 38 and was just as relevant, just as well written, but an entirely different book because I've changed. I don't blame Harper Lee for not writing anything else after that, it's stayed with me more than hundreds of other books.

I have read many novels more than once. Some books I read when I was young,in my own language, I read in English later. Then I was bed ridden for a long time and had to read books that I had read before.

The most important reason is, I discovered that what you understand from a book depends on your own knowledge and the experience. For example, I read "Dead Souls" (Gogol) when I was 15. I laughed and laughed and it was series of events happening.

They talked about the large Tsunamis, Earthquakes, floods and droughts. And the ancient past and future.

To Kill a Mocking Bird. It is riddled with meesages and notes that apply just as much to now as back then. Prejudice is a silent killer; it destroys people's lives.

I've read the warlord trilogy by Bernard Cornwell a few times. The books help to take me away from where I am on the London Tube network.

The best thing about this book is that ,its a really inspiring and motivational book which you can refer whenever you are feeling life has become monotonous.

A must read if you have not already read it!

I usually hate reading a book twice- I find it boring as I already know what's gonna happen. But there is one book, that I keep coming back to, no matter what, and that's The Hunger Games.
