Scooter - you just gave the reason I've re-read the Outlander series multiple times! :-)

When I was a kid, I re-read books all the time (Little Women, Eight Cousins, Nancy Drew) depending on my mood. Now I don't have time to read very often, so I try to read new books that I wouldn't have time for if I was re-reading something.

Mameblanche - same here. When I read their books, I feel like I'm with old friends.

Little Women is the one book that I have reread and will reread.

Scout, I love Rosamunde Pilcher too. My two very special favorites from her are Coming Home and Shell Seekers. Now Coming Home is one book I could very easily read again. <sigh>

I just finished reading the last three Harry Potter books. I think reading these books are what convinced me I need an e-reader. The arthritis in my hands is really acting up.

I re-read books all of the time. Especially all of my Stephen King-multiple overreads. Also, "To Kill a Mockingbird" and Gone With the Wind", too numerous to count. I'll even re-read books I didn't really like the first time around, like giving it a second chance.
My girls are the same way.

I tell my students that truly good books "don't kiss on the first date" so you HAVE to read them multiple times to get everything! :-)

Never, and if I start to read one and it's seems familiar I stop. Too many good books to read and so little time.

Some books have a special meaning to me and I'll re-read them many times. I'm currently working my way through Louis L'Amour and Robert Asprin (Myth series). There's another book I have somewhere that I read every five or so years - it's a very LONG book and takes some time to get through, but I love it. Best part is I can never remember the name of it except when I'm reading it. Hmm wonder where it is...

There is a book (in Italian) that sits on my nighttable for when I'm waiting for the Library book to arrive. I read that book I don't know how many times and I never tire of it. It's "Yargo" by Jacqueline Susann, it was the novel that was discovered inside her desk after her death. I must say I loved the Italian translation better than the original English version and not because I'm Italian, it's really better. I just love the story, I know that nowadays science proved that there is no life on Venus nor Mars to make a movie but still the concept is marvelous. They could replace those planets with other ones far away from our own solar system. Like Yargo, so far away and what a beautiful place that is. When the novel was discovered they thought of using Yul Brinner as Yargo (the God of that planet) but I just don't know why no one in Hollywood made the movie.
Before Angeline Jolie gets too old for the role, I think she would be perfect for Sanau and Scarlet Johanson for Janet. I dream of this movie but I doubt anyone would think of it now.
So I keep reading it while waiting for another library book.

Whoami, we have a lot of the same tastes in books. Koontz, King, and McCammon. Those guys write great books, and my favorite which I've read 5 times already is "The Wolf's Hour". Koontz's "Watchers", and King's "The Stand" are also stories that are watched multiple times by me.

I revisit favorites every five years or so. Not ALL favorites. Just a few.
