Like many, I don't find myself re-reading books much. There are too many out there I haven't read yet. However, there are a few.

Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books, and I'll read it every year or 18 months.

The Stand by Stephen King is another I've read a few times now.

I'll also re-read books about survival, such as Touching the Void and Into Thin Air.

I'll also read Hunter S. Thompson's Hell's Angels every once in a while.

Beauty: A Retelling of the story of Beauty and the Beast.

I read it six times, and will most likely read it again... :D

I think it would have to be "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield.

Yeh, I just happen to have an old Roman Helmet that I like to wear when I go shopping. :D No its not me. Woh I just had a thought maybe whoever it is may object to me using his image. I actually have all these pics from a group of people who make all the old armour and weapons. I really love the helmet, but I think I might change it just to be on the safe side. Thanks SKM, I did not really think about it until your post, I just loved the helmet.

There we go. :) That will do until I can get my own.

:) Damn, I loved that helmet, but with my luck I was probably breaking some fraud laws. If only it was some celebrity wearing it and not some every day Joe I would have been alright. Oh well I like the illustrated one as well and no problems using it.

The Belgariad series... it's a series my family passes around all the time, and it's absolutely wonderful.

For me I would have to say H.P. Lovecraft, I never get tired of reading his stuff, a close second would be the Sherlock Holmes stories.

Those are highy re-readable indeed. I'd go for something from my childhood. Jules Verne or something like that.

You sound like me. I read Verne's Journey to the Center Of the Earth and Off on a Comet when I was in high school and I would like to read them again. They are great re-reads.
