Hmm... I don't read books multiple times, just like I don't watch movies or episodes of TV shows multiple times. But I remember James Patterson's "The Jester" being very good as well as "Pop Goes The Weasel"(which has one of the best villian I've ever seen in a book). Also Ender's Game was pretty good.

Must be a really good book

It is. It's a Sci-Fi book from the late Nineteenth century. It's about all these rumours about some "Sea Creature" attacking ships on the High Seas. The US Government puts forth an expedition to find, identify and eliminate the scourge. The unknown "Creature" attacks the ship and three of the passengers end up being captured.

The "Creature" turns out to be a submarine led by Captain Nemo, who is mad at all the leaders of the world and decided to leave the politics of man behind forever by creating his own home under the sea ... Does this sound familiar? Captain Nemo is basically the inspiration for Andrew Ryan from Bioshock.

The three "prisoners" end up going around the world in this submarine called the Nautilis and are caught up in a great adventure.

It's a bit old but reading the original instead of spin-offs or watching the story (I think Disney did it back in the '70's or '80s) is HIGHLY recommended. Jules Verne was a prophetic and fantastic a storyteller as Isaac Asimov or Niven.

Same here. That book is majestic. I also really enjoyed reading the Lotr trilogy and most of Tolkien's other work.

I haven't really read anything more than once... I don't like knowing the outcomes of things. Maybe in 20 years when I've forgotten I'll read stuff again.

There's an abridged version as well. I think it's like 300 pages as opposed to 1200 or 1300 pages. I read the abridged version first and then ventured into the monstrously long version. It's so worth the read though. At least check out the abridged,

I agree with Man's Search for Meaning, what a great book. I'm too busy trying to catch up on all the books I want to read right now though, no time for rereading.

I don't have any one book that I read over and over again, but I am a big fan of Zmbi_survival. So I spend most my time reading books on this subject. If your a fan of this genre then you should pick up Patient Zero by Jonathan Mayberry. I'm enjoying it very much right now.

I don't like reading books over and over again.

But I love Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and 1984.

I feel like it is one of those books that everyone should read once and I feel ya on the no time for rereading thing!
