What books do you read again and again? I realize some people only read books once, but for the others, I would really like to know what brings you back again. I'm sorry if this question has been placed before.

I'm mostly a scifi/fantasy kind of guy.

Well currently I'm rereading "Snow Crash". I'm a major fan of the Wheel of Time series and am anxiously awaiting it's final book, due early next year. I also keep up to date and reread things like:

The Dresden Files
Mistborn
Rama
Anything written by Jack McDevitt
Codex Alera

And the list goes on.

Also I think every scifi fan should read "Space Cadet". It was written in 1948 and it's a neat little book.

I'm one of those people. I don't like reading a story where you already know what's going to happen. :unsure:
I reread books because after a while (spent reading other books) I'll forget the little details. Details are what make a book interesting and engaging. I don't really care if I know who's going to be alive at the end when it seems impossible for them to get there from where they are now.

Lets see...
I love Rick Riordan and his books, there fun and I learned a lot about Greek mythology.
Erin Hunter (a pseudonym for several authors) published a nice series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warriors_(novel_series). Love those cats.

I guess though, my favorite writer as of now, is Stephen King. Just a great storyteller. Some good novels written by him are: The Shining, The Dead Zone, Under the Dome, 'Salems Lot, etc.
I love to read new things, so if anyone has any good recommendations let me know. :)
Welcome to the forums ;)
EDIT: Watership Down is a beautiful story. <3
