Ace The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens


Melissa Without a doubt that would be The Hobbit and Watership Down.


message 303: by Robert (new) - rated it 5 stars

Robert Most definitely Perfume: The Story of a Murderer I love this book and even the movie in my opinion did it justice. Although I have never read a book twice time as there isn't enough time in a persons average life for me to read all the books I would like to read once let alone twice. I may actually come back to this one. It stuck with me for a long time after I finished it.

Bob Van Arsdale Robbie, I agree that Suskind's "Perfume..." is a stunningly-good read. It's on my GOODREADS' list of the Best Books Ever... It's stayed with me as well.

Chancy Mine is The Host. I've read it more times than I've read any other book. I also live close to where the book takes places which adds a little extra interest for me.

Bill "Beat to Quarters", one of the Hornblower series. I have my dad's copy that he carried through the Pacific War. It has three of the novels in one book, so I hit "Ship of the Line" and "Flying Colours", too. I re-read Conrads's "Youth" & "Typhoon" every so often, too.

message 310: by Gracie (new) - rated it 5 stars

Gracie I repeatedly read Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone. I love that book soooo much. I also repeatedly read the others too.


Georgia Morrison Mine would be all of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I have read my copies to shreds and I read them as often as I can!


Phillip I've read The Lord of the Rings 14 times since I discovered it when I was in middle-school during the late 1970s.


message 313: by Paula (new) - rated it 5 stars

Paula Anderson Pride & Prejudice.....read that about 6 times when I was 18 and Tropical Storm by Melissa Good, I've read it about 4 times so far .... It's Pride & Prejudice for girls essentially and it never loses its appeal for me.


Nikoleta ASOIAF series by George R. R. Martin
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Lord of the Flies by William Golding

message 317: by Dolores (last edited Jan 24, 2015 10:14AM) (new) - rated it 4 stars

Dolores LIFE EXPECTANCY by Dean Koontz.
An impressive, unique, and unexpected mixture of horror and outrageous scenarios that had me alternately busting up with laughter, or gnawing on on my nails! A really FUN reading experience. I could read this novel a zillion time and never tire of it!


message 318: by Flo (new) - rated it 5 stars

Flo "Robinson Crusoe" I think I have read the book at least 5 times while I was between 8 and 11 years old. Maybe I should read it once again in the near future!

Naomi Moonheart by Charles de Lint followed closely by the LotR by JRR Tolkien.
