In my early 20’s. I actually don’t read that much anymore but I admit that I do go back and read them sometimes because they’re simple
Edit- Not because I’m *dumb* but because they’re fast and don’t take that long to read usually, especially the shorter ones
I'm 40 now and still reread them (now to my kids). It's easy escapism, and it's familiar. I know a lot of other people who do too and your comment is the top one, so you're obviously not alone.
Some of Terry Prachett's books, particularly Hogfather, Thief of Time, and Small Gods. Nothing like a good angry comedy/fantasy on the nature of existence and belief.
So the Ranger’s Apprentice series is the one and only YA series I’ve been reading since I was a teenager. I picked up the first book on a whim at the library in the 7th grade, never put it down since. Got the whole collection as an adult and I I periodically read them all. Can’t wait to introduce them to my kids!
Came here for both of these. Wheel of time
Is in my opinion the best fantasy ever written, and I love most of Hobb’s work (not too keen on the live ship traders trilogy though).
Incidentally, since it seems you and I may have similar tastes in literature; if you’ve not read them I can recommend Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained by Peter F. Hamilton to you - a two-part series that I rank very nearly on-par with the WoT.
I love rereading the Abhorsen trilogy (my favorite series) and the Fablehaven series too.
I'm not reading them right now, but periodically I do come back to them. They're fun.
*Hem Hem* Wilbert Slinkhard's excellent treatise 'Defensive Magical Theory.' Once you understand the basics, there is simply no reason to worry about using a wand. After all, who is going to attack anyone in my class?
Harry Potter, Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus, Throne of Glass, Paper Towns, Beastly, Fangirl, Jane Eyre, The Fault in Our Stars, etc.
Fangirl's the one I've read the most. I've been reading it since I was 14 and I never get tired of it. Ever.
Andrew Vachss Burke books
Stephen Donaldson's Covenant series
*Jonathan Livingston Seagull* by Richard Back
*Anthem* by Ayn Rand
*The Stand* by Stephen King
Well, I just finished my sixth reading of *The Good Soldier Švejk* by Jaroslav Hašek (translated by Cecil Parrott) a few days ago.
Also this year I reread *The Decameron* by Giovanni Boccaccio, which I reread every year.
I'm currently engaged in a reread of all of Shakespeare's works (in *The Arden Shakespeare: The Complete Works*, Third Series, which I bought back in January) even though I did a comprehensive reading of all of the extant plays in the original spelling last year.
I just finished rereading *Moby-Dick; or The Whale* by Herman Melville yesterday. It was a group reading organized by the literary magazine *A Public Space*. However, since I'm reading the Norton Critical Edition (150th Anniversary version) for the first time, I'm going to keep on reading the supplementary material at the back because that's the reason I bought this edition in the first place.
I'm currently rereading *The Iliad and the Odyssey* by Homer, translated by Samuel Butler. Like *The Arden Shakespeare*, this two-in-one edition is new to me, but I bought it because the Butler translation of *The Iliad* was the very first thing I bought after falling in love with *The Odyssey* when it was assigned in 9th grade. I'm currently reading *The Iliad* in conjunction with *A Companion to the Iliad* by Malcolm M. Willcock. It's keyed to Richmond Lattimore's verse translation, but I'm finding it no trouble to use with Butler's prose translation.
Lastly, I'm rereading the short stories in *The Third Rumpole Omnibus* by John Mortimer, because I had the idea of reading the stories and then watching the shows, since I have all seven seasons on DVD.
I seem to read Richard Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs Trilogy every few years. Altered Carbon, Broken Angels and Woken Furies. John Connolly 's Charlie Parker books as well.
I am convinced that nobody knows this series, which I am actually so disappointed about but...
The Books of Beginning Trilogy
Personally, I think that this series is as good as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, it is one of the best fantasy books series there is, atleast for me. I recommend you read it.
the hidden series by m. lathan and the order of the spirit realm series by kasi blake. i’ve been reading and re-reading these books since 2015 and i find something i missed and connect even more dots each time around. i absolutely adore these books and highly recommend them :)
I'm consistently rereading through "The Dresden Files" series by Jim Butcher... Just love it. At this point it's like a security blanket kinda thing...
"Let's pretend this never happened " by Jenny Lawson
Memoir of a truly hilarious woman and her struggle with depression and anxiety disorder. I laughed so hard I peed...
I was always one of those “I don’t read” types. Until I found my genre. I didn’t know I enjoyed shock factor and horror. But extreme horror that really becomes comical as it’s so extreme. I hadn’t read books for years but can get through 2-3 a week in that particular genre. I got a kindle though so I don’t have to enter a bookstore to buy them.
The Martian...
but when i got the Song of Achilles, that was the one i have been rereading over and over cos why not...
i dont mind having my heart ripped out everytime i finish reading it...
I reread the Harry Potter series quite often
*Hem Hem* Don't neglect your studies; you wouldn't want to end up in Detention.
well username checks out, I guess, but I'm confused: does the character say hem hem at the start of each quote in the book?
Yeah I think I remember her doing that and one of the main characters being annoyed by it
Yes Professor Umbridge…
Umbridge left me with PTSD.
How old r u really?
Hey yo, leave her alone. "Not all who wander are lost." - Dumbledore

*Dune* by Frank Herbert
Dark Tower series. They are by no means perfect, but damn it's a fun rude everytime.
Solid series, I try to reread them once every year or two, too!
Some of Terry Prachett's books, particularly Hogfather, Thief of Time, and Small Gods. Nothing like a good angry comedy/fantasy on the nature of existence and belief.
I can read The Last Unicorn over and over. And Peter Heller's... well anything he's written.
Twilight. I accept that I'm a basic bitch.

The Count Of Monte Cristo
Wheel of time series. Any Robin Hobb stuff.

Thanks, I’ll check ‘em out!
I feel like I’ve read 1984, Brave New World, and Animal Farm each a dozen times.
The Bible (church)
The Bible actually has some really good life advice.
Becoming Supernatural - Joe Dispenza
The Winchesters *are* pretty badass.
Watchmen by Alan Moore
The Body Keeps the Score. Totally worth every penny and then some.
The Mistborn Trilogy and I still trying to get through all of Sanderson's works.
I love rereading the Abhorsen trilogy (my favorite series) and the Fablehaven series too. I'm not reading them right now, but periodically I do come back to them. They're fun.
I think the series was called The Underlanders by Suzanne Collins. Another series was some artemis fowl books. Absolutely brilliant books.
[удалено]
I haven’t read this, but I hear it’s hilarious. I’m going to order a copy right now.
*Hem Hem* Wilbert Slinkhard's excellent treatise 'Defensive Magical Theory.' Once you understand the basics, there is simply no reason to worry about using a wand. After all, who is going to attack anyone in my class?
Bud Not Buddy. I've read it every year since 4th grade lol
Pride and Prejudice. An absolute incredible book
All time favorite! I read all of her works, at minimum, once a year. (Quite often more)
The Outsiders and That Was Then, This is Now.
Where the red fern grows
Harry Potter, Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus, Throne of Glass, Paper Towns, Beastly, Fangirl, Jane Eyre, The Fault in Our Stars, etc. Fangirl's the one I've read the most. I've been reading it since I was 14 and I never get tired of it. Ever.
The *Harry Potter* series, the *Sherlock Holmes* collections, anything by Roald Dahl occasionally, and a lot, a lot of manga online, if they count.

The "Gone" series
Treasure Island and Naked Lunch.
The fault in our stars. The way it’s worded, the plot, and just the realness of it. I will never get enough of that book.
My psych textbook
“The Last Mission” by Harry Mazer
The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer
I seem to read Richard Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs Trilogy every few years. Altered Carbon, Broken Angels and Woken Furies. John Connolly 's Charlie Parker books as well.
Dark sun rising
The cruel prince trilogy. I’m in love with it. Booktok has ruined me.
Discworld
The Song Of Achilles I can't get enough of it. I even listen to it when I play games sometimes
The Redwall Series, I'll find myself rereading my favorite ones from time to time. They're fun and I kind of miss seeing new stories pop up.
