read the same book more than twice for purely enjoyment purposes? (children's books don't count.) I'll have to say yes. Some classics are worth reading over and over. And I like Dean Koontz's stuff as well as Stephen King, and Dan Brown. yup...Koontz and King as well This is a monumental moment, Floh agreed with me! Did the heavens part?

Yes, Emmerson's Essays are classic and you can find something new in them every time you read them. H.S. Thompson is a trip to read over and over.

Because no matter if we've disagreed or not, you are tactful.

Yes- but I put a little time inbetween the two readings so its not as familair.

I tend to read historical novels twice once for the history and one just for the story. Lot of my technical books I read and reread to stay on top of things.

Yes! Many, many times because sometimes a great book just gets better as you read it. I know it's depressing topic, but if anyone is interested in the Holocaust and wants to read a really great personal memoir, get Night by Elie Weisel. It is tiny and you can read it in one sitting, but you will never forget it! Just read it for the third time this year for a class. Everyone I know who has read it feels the same way.

Siddhartha, first time when I was 13. The story doesn't change but I do.
