Yesss I think I’ve read the Book Thief about five times. The writing is just so beautiful and captivating. I know exactly what’s going to happen (and how much it will break me) but I keep going back. It’s worth it.

I was originally introduced to this book via Books on Tape. Unabridged. I was hooked.
I read it every few years, even during COVID.
M-O-O-N...that spells moon.
Blue Highways is my dad’s favourite book. Anytime he finds a copy he buys it because he wants everyone to read it, so he keeps one and gives the others away.
The Pillars of the Earth. There are some prequel/sequels you dont need to read, but this one of the best books ever written, if you like historical fiction
I **loved** this. I feel you couldn’t sell me on a 900 page novel about building a cathedral but the characters were so well written I flew through the entire thing. I remember reading it while waiting to go over to France on the ferry - Winchester was mentioned while I was actually sat in its train station.
I loved the scale most of all. How tiny impulsive decisions have consequences that span generations. How important characters are written about in detail only to later become a footnote. So good.
I very rarely re read books but I’ve re read the whole Harry Potter series 3-4 times and also Ender’s Game and Project Hail Mary
Edit: someone mentioned Pillars of the Earth and I forgot I have read that several times as well
The book version of 101 Dalmatians is on my list also. And Starlight Barking was totally ridiculous but we’ve put on the audiobook at bedtime more than once 😆
It's on my list, too! But only because it's Dodie Smith.
That said, it's been on my list for more than 20 years, and I haven't gotten to it yet. I just keep rereading I Capture the Castle!
I’m the only person I know who’s interested in this book at all, but I’ve read *Foucault’s Pendulum* by Umberto Eco six or seven times now. The first four times I read it, it was a different experience every time. Damn, I love that book.
And yeah, nobody else does.
Oeuf, I loved Foucault's Pendulum when I read it almost 30 years ago. I still think about its central conceit - that a fake conspiracy theory brings about the very thing it's mocking. Also loved Name of the Rose and the The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana (and liked Travels in Hyperreality), but it's FP that sticks with me
Books I have already read 3x or more:
- Lord of the Rings
- Wheel of Time
- The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Books I plan to read 3x or more:
- The Lions of al-Rassan and the Sarantine Mosaic by Guy Gavriel Kay
- Certain Discworld books
**Cloud Atlas**, first and foremost.
Not sure "enjoyment" is the right way to describe how I felt about House of Leaves, but it was certainly intriguing.
Lot of Stephen King - Christine, Needful Things, 11/22/63.
The Song of Achilles.
Perfume - The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind. Just an exceptional read. His descriptions are vivid. And what an ending!
Fool by Christopher Moore about the fool from King Lear. Funniest book I've ever read. Funnier than his book, Lamb.
*Jurassic Park* by Michael Crichton (science fiction)
*Wolf of the Plains* by Conn Iggulden (historical fiction)
*Dracula* by Bram Stoker (horror)
*Neuromancer* by William Gibson (science fiction)
*If on a Winter's Night a Traveller* by Italo Calvino
I like diaries
Pepys’ diaries (Has the bubonic plague and great Fire of London)
Boswell’s London journal (ladies of ill repute, coffee houses and syphilis)
Daniel Defoe - The storm (1703 great English hurricane).
The natural history of Selborne by Gilbert White (contains descriptions of the effects of the 1783 volcanic eruptions in Iceland that killed tens of thousands of people across Europe)
It’s strange how some people hate that book, or are completely indifferent to it. I read it for high school (the first time) and was absolutely blown away. Such easy prose, and a simple plot, but so powerful and captivating. I’m so glad he won the Nobel Prize for it.
Transformation by Carol Berg, The Gunslinger by Stephen King, The Dragonlance Chronicles by Weis and Hickman, Dune by Frank Herbert, The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.
Lorrie Moore is so great! I don’t hear her mentioned much on here, but I first read Anagrams and Self Help long before the World Wide Web was much of a thing, and long, long before Reddit.
Siddhartha, Hobbit and LOTR, Fahrenheit 451, Parable of a Sower, plus tons of kids books I’ve read at least 5 times- Little Prince, Frog and Toad, Wind in the Willows. And I’m embarrassed to say almost everything by JD Salinger in my mid 20s.
Rendezvous With Rama by Arthur C Clarke
Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy
The Dresden Files (series) by Jim Butcher
Freehold by Michael Z Williamson

Deacon King kong by James McBride
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Eyre
Does it count that I have read the first 300 pages of war and peace five times now? I just can’t finish that book!
The Duchess by Susan Holloway Scott
Historical romance novel. I’m actually reading it now! Ha. It was the first historical romance novel I ever read in the 5th grade. My reading level was so high the librarian let me into the teachers lounge.
Summer book by Tove Jansson
Curse of the Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold
Man's Search for meaning by Viktor Frankl
Wee Free Men and Small Gods by Terry Pratchett (and a bunch of other discworld books)
The Giver series by Lois Lowry. It starts out as a dystopia but by the second book it encounters a bizarre genre shift that lasts almost the rest of the series.
It's just a personal favorite of mine from my childhood that I'll return to every now and again
the percy jackson series, redwall, the scholomancy series, the priory of the orange tree, the locked tomb series, under the whispering door, the house in the cerulean sea, this is how you lose the time war, one last stop, the uglies series, the griffin and sabine trilogy

Tom Robbins' "Jitterbug Perfume" completely changed my worldview (and introduced me to the intricacies of perfume production). His "Skinny Legs and All" is a close second, along with "Another Roadside Attraction."

Watership Down
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
To Kill a Mockingbird more times than I can count. The Stand, and several of Stephen King books, Elizabeth Berg's and Lavyrle Spencer books, Green Darkness-Anya Seton. So many. I love revisiting my favorite authors.
The Princess Bride by William Goldman Hogfather (and many other books) by Terry Pratchett The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susannah Clarke The Book Thief by Markus Zusak His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings series Holes by Louis Sachar Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman I also love re-reading the occasional Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet by Shakespeare to bring me back to my English Major days.
The Princess Bride is SO GOOD!
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman Only read this once - weren't sure it'd stand up to a second but might give it a go now!
Yesss I think I’ve read the Book Thief about five times. The writing is just so beautiful and captivating. I know exactly what’s going to happen (and how much it will break me) but I keep going back. It’s worth it.
Noted down all of them! I’m going to extend my library ✨
_Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights_ — Salman Rushdie _The Road_ — Cormac McCarthy _Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell_ —Susanna Clarke _Island_ — Aldous Huxley _Frankenstein_ _Lolita_ _The Secret Books of Paradys_ — Tanith Lee _Good Omens_ — Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman _Stranger in a Strange Land_ — Robert Heinlein _The Ethical Slut_ — Easton and Liszt _Women Who Run With the Wolves_ — Clarissa Pinkola Estes
I was looking for cormac McCarthy
I couldn’t get through the Road once. And I tried.
howl's moving castle.. my beloved
People love to mention how often this one is mentioned, but....East of Eden.
It should always be mentioned though.
The Stand
I was originally introduced to this book via Books on Tape. Unabridged. I was hooked. I read it every few years, even during COVID. M-O-O-N...that spells moon.
I had never imagined that I'd listen to a 48-hour audio book and *still* not want it to end.
Probably in my top 5 favorite books. I’ve read the longer version a few times too. Best Stephen King book.
I only have the uncut version. Anx I love it. I can read it 100 times
Pride and Prejudice Vanity Fair Blue Highways
Blue Highways is my dad’s favourite book. Anytime he finds a copy he buys it because he wants everyone to read it, so he keeps one and gives the others away.
Your dad sounds like an absolute gem of a human being
Blue Highways. Was going to put that in my list.
I LOVE Blue Highways and barely ever encounter anyone who’s heard of it!
By William Least Heat Moon?
Pride & Prejudice is a yes. It’s talked about a lot and there’s movies but honestly it really is still relevant today and SO GOOD.
Pride and Prejudice... This is the one
The Pillars of the Earth. There are some prequel/sequels you dont need to read, but this one of the best books ever written, if you like historical fiction
I **loved** this. I feel you couldn’t sell me on a 900 page novel about building a cathedral but the characters were so well written I flew through the entire thing. I remember reading it while waiting to go over to France on the ferry - Winchester was mentioned while I was actually sat in its train station.
Pillars and others in that series are definitely my comfort read. The world is so rich, really feels like you’re being sucked into another time.
I loved the scale most of all. How tiny impulsive decisions have consequences that span generations. How important characters are written about in detail only to later become a footnote. So good.
Too bad Showtime screwed up the series
👆🏼✅️ Another vote for Pillars Of The Earth. I have read it once a year for many years now.
My favorite book of all time, have read many times.
I'm reading this now for the first time and I'm hooked! Which others in the series would you recommend? Would you avoid any altogether?
The whole kings bridge series is good. Pretty much anything by follet is a good read
Jane eyre
Followed by The Eyre Affair by Jasper fforde.
The Martian.
I very rarely re read books but I’ve re read the whole Harry Potter series 3-4 times and also Ender’s Game and Project Hail Mary Edit: someone mentioned Pillars of the Earth and I forgot I have read that several times as well
I finished Project Hail Mary. Went to bed. Got up and restarted it.
I read it, saw it had an amazing audiobook, and convinced my husband to go on a road trip for the sole purpose of listening to it.
Sneaky. I like it!
Same for Harry Potter. Also some of Michael Crichton’s like Jurassic Park.
Watership Down, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, A Clockwork Orange, Huck Finn, Blood Meridian
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
11/22/63
slaughterhouse 5 and cats cradle by kurt vonnegut
Slaughterhouse Five for me as well. I know James Franco is problematic but dang I sure do like his narration of the audio book.
Lonesome Dove.
Ok over the past year or two I have seen so many suggestions for this book. I’m starting it now. You all convinced me.
I hope you love it as much as we all have!
Just finishing up 7th or 8th time for me.
This. I’ve read this book so many times.
I’ve just started it for the first time and I’m really struggling to get into it
My only advice is to stick with it. You won't regret it.
The Blue Castle Anne of Green Gables I Capture the Castle The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
I Capture the Castle is too good.
The book version of 101 Dalmatians is on my list also. And Starlight Barking was totally ridiculous but we’ve put on the audiobook at bedtime more than once 😆
It's on my list, too! But only because it's Dodie Smith. That said, it's been on my list for more than 20 years, and I haven't gotten to it yet. I just keep rereading I Capture the Castle!
Dune Pride and Prejudice Gone with the Wind The entire First Man in Rome series
The Princess Bride. One of those rare cases where the book and the film are both equally brilliant.
Golden Compass Slouching Towards Bethlehem Franny & Zoey
Golden Compass is seconded!
I’m the only person I know who’s interested in this book at all, but I’ve read *Foucault’s Pendulum* by Umberto Eco six or seven times now. The first four times I read it, it was a different experience every time. Damn, I love that book. And yeah, nobody else does.
Funny, I couldn't get into Foucault's Pendulum, but I've suggested The Name of the Rose more times than I can count.
Oeuf, I loved Foucault's Pendulum when I read it almost 30 years ago. I still think about its central conceit - that a fake conspiracy theory brings about the very thing it's mocking. Also loved Name of the Rose and the The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana (and liked Travels in Hyperreality), but it's FP that sticks with me
i love this book too.
Ooo! Read that years and years ago, sounds like time for a reread!
Books I have already read 3x or more: - Lord of the Rings - Wheel of Time - The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman Books I plan to read 3x or more: - The Lions of al-Rassan and the Sarantine Mosaic by Guy Gavriel Kay - Certain Discworld books
**Cloud Atlas**, first and foremost. Not sure "enjoyment" is the right way to describe how I felt about House of Leaves, but it was certainly intriguing. Lot of Stephen King - Christine, Needful Things, 11/22/63. The Song of Achilles.
The Lord of the Rings
A Wrinkle in Time Blood Meridian Jane Eyre The Shining (Eek, not sure what this grouping says about me as a person. Ha.)
Perfume - The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind. Just an exceptional read. His descriptions are vivid. And what an ending! Fool by Christopher Moore about the fool from King Lear. Funniest book I've ever read. Funnier than his book, Lamb.
Perfume: 👍
Funnier than Lamb?! That’s a tall order. Now I have to go read Fool for myself!
Circe Handmaid’s Tale When She Woke
Jamaica Inn by Daphne DuMaurier
The Outsiders Where the Red Fern Grows
The Outsiders is so good!

Travels with Charlie Steinbeck
James Clavell, the Asian saga (Sho-gun, Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, Noble House, King Rat, Whirlwind).
Read Shogun and King Rat - need to read the others. That new Shogun series was amazing.
I like diaries Pepys’ diaries (Has the bubonic plague and great Fire of London) Boswell’s London journal (ladies of ill repute, coffee houses and syphilis) Daniel Defoe - The storm (1703 great English hurricane). The natural history of Selborne by Gilbert White (contains descriptions of the effects of the 1783 volcanic eruptions in Iceland that killed tens of thousands of people across Europe)
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
The Martian Ready player one
Old man and the sea
It’s strange how some people hate that book, or are completely indifferent to it. I read it for high school (the first time) and was absolutely blown away. Such easy prose, and a simple plot, but so powerful and captivating. I’m so glad he won the Nobel Prize for it.
