Righto. I mainly perfer Horror genre, sometimes scifi and if i really think the book is good, then classic.
I remember one book i read that i loved. It was scifi type book. Forgot the title, if anyone wants to help me remember it i'd love them! It was about a brother and sister, kids, who lived together and were trying to survive outside "The City." Their parents had already "Joined" the city. Pretty much those who had joined the city were "Perfect" attitude wise, looks, and more yada yada yada. But they weren't really humans, because their free will was taken away, no one could feel anger or sadness. It was creepy to the kids and to everyone who wasn't apart of it.
I have also read and enjoyed:
Of Mice and Men
Fahrenheit 451
Harry Potter Series
Hunger Games Series
Eragon Series
Edgar Allan Poe stories (my favorites are The Raven, The Tell Tale Heart and The Masque of Red Death)
Sleepy Hollow
Brothers Grimm stories

I have to admit, I do read books only once. It's usually the same as it is with movies, I feel that I only need to read (/watch) it once, as rereading it feels... Different.
I just like the sense of suspicion you get as you read, not knowing what will happen next in the story.
I'd have to say, though, there's one book I tried to reread;
The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch - by Joseph Delaney
The first book of the Last Apprentice book series.
As for books I completely enjoyed... I'll try naming some off.
Of Mice and Men
Twisted
Speak
The Last Apprentice (Book 1 to 9)
Animorphs (Book 1 to 5, then some random selections in the series. Never could grab the whole series.)
Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (Also the first and second book of the series. I forget the names.)
The Hunger Games
Catching Fire
The Crucible
The Realms of Minecraftia
