I reread books I'm not particularly fond of every few years.Books I love I reread all the time!!!!!!! I will often reread one book at the same time as when I'm reading a new book.What are some of your favorite(s) books you've read over and over and over again?

message 19: by Eira (new)

Eira Snow (eirasnow) | 25 comments Love tiger's curse, own the whole series XD. Haven't read the kane chronicles... i read at night until like 10, :)
do you read fast or slow?


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

for me it depends on(1) how much I like the book,(2)how much time I have to devote to it.If I don't really care for it,it can take up to 3 months for me to finish it.And if I simply have too much to do,then it can take about the same time to finish.like right now,school is pretty much dominating my week,and I go out with my family on weekends;so I haven't been able to get through a single book. :S But during the summer,I will read from sunup to sundown and finish an entire 500-page book in one day!!!!!!!!


message 21: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Uh....I read like crazy fast lol...I read Tiger's Curse in like three hours lol and I've read a 500 page book in about 5 lol. Hunger Games I read in 2 hours lol...cause when I started it, I really had no idea what it was about only that my friend kept telling me to read it, and that it was a super-pop book. ;)

message 28: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) I make time...lol...most of the time haha


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Time is such a weird thing......


message 30: by [deleted user] (new)

Especially when it's in a book that deals w/ time travel...... O.o


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

in this one,Artemis Fowl:the Time Paradox,Artemis goes back in time,but according to the time paradox theory,he has already gone back in time in the future,which turns into the past,which is currently the present.The author himself said it was confusing!!!!!! :D


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

ikr?Artemis is going back in time now(in the present).But it is not the initial time he has done it.He has already done it in the future;therefore he must do it in the present in order to keep the pattern of time flowing smooth.So from the present timeline,he has done it in the future,therefore he has also done it in the past(if he has already done it in the future,he has already done it,thereby making it a past action),therefore he must also do it in the present. :S that gives me a headache!!!!! XD

Similar for me but it also depends on whether I purchased the book. If I purchased it then I usually read it several more times. I rarely read library books again but I have done that also.


message 34: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) sounds really confusing lol....time travel books usually are by the genre lol its like its the rule haha


message 35: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah!!!!It makes a sort of flawed sense to me,but I always have to go through the reasoning about a bajillion times before I even semi-comprehend it. :S


message 36: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) I don't even try to comprehend it lol


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

:D I don't blame you either!!!!!!

Andso true!!!!! I reread lihrary books again only if I absolutely love the book.Otherwise I'll jus forget about it.And maybe find it in the bookstore and wonder if I've read it,end up buying it,and realizing that,yes,it was that one I read from the library.... Lol. :D


message 39: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh Tabitha, I have done the very same thing. We were laughing at the library the other day as another lady had done that too. I also watch movies over not realizing I have seen them. I think certain titles appeal to us and I know certain covers really get me.

I would rather read a good book over 5 times than start on a book I do not like!


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

I have about 53 Norah Lofts books and I have read every single one of them more than once. Her writing just greatly appeals to me.

Amen! XD lol yup....sometimes if something I don't like (like a S** scene or a lot of swearing) in a book from the library...I just stick it in my backpack and dont look at it until I bring it back...but I research what I'm going to read a bit before I get it...so that doesn't happen a lot thankfully lol


message 42: by Eira (new)

Eira Snow (eirasnow) | 25 comments has anyone her read hades by alexandra addornetto? if ur under 13 like yours truly here, don't. got up to the page when jake tells what the price is then threw the book at the wall and yelled at my friend for telling me to read it :/


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

no,I haven't heard of it.and totally w/ you Tabi & Alice!!!!!!!!One book I tried rereading was Nick of Time by Ted Bell.When I first read it,I wasnt all that thrilled with it.This year,I found it at the library;and I thought,"Oh I remember this one!I bet I would like it now!"So I reread it again,and it was just the same as when I first read it. :S
