What books have you read twice?

I've just begun to reread The Rotters' Club by Jonathan Coe and the first few pages are completely unfamiliar.
Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris was well worth rereading too.

This has been a really interesting thread and I've now bought several kindle books that I read years ago and had forgotten about. It's great that with kindle you can get books that are out of print or not easily available otherwise but it's not always good for the bank account!
I'm currently rereading Jane Eyre. I recently reread Wolf Hall before reading Bring up the Bodies. I don't reread very many books but it is interesting how books seem different at different times in your life.

I've read Sven Hassell books more than once,but I rather like sex & violence, maybe it's my age, or my life is that boring.

I have a collection of Miss Read books and i have read all of them several times. Also at the other end of the spectrum i have every hardback copy of Martina Cole's books which are about mafia type gangsters, i have reread several of those too.

I love Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings and read it again and again.I also love Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca,The House On The Strand and Jamaica Inn and I read these often too, much to my husband's amusement.

The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier. Several of Clive Cussler.
Lots of the classics like Jane Eyre, Cranford, some Dickens, the list is endless!

I have read all of David Lodge's books at least three times and those of Barbara Pym who was rediscovered some yeras ago.
I have also read A Yorkshire Boyhood by Roy Hattersley who lived and grew up a few miles away from our house. There is also an exboyfriend on a cricket team photo.
Margaret Forster remains a great favourite and Margaret Drabble

I have read Larkrise to candleford by Flora Thompson many times.

It is very different to the TV series much more of a social history of the time.

Ihave read all Thomas Hardy novels many times and I read Tess every year! I also re-read most books I have at least twice also William Golding 4 or5 times. There are so many and I have a considerable number of books I have yet to read.I just love books.

One book I found fascinating and keep on the book shelf is" The Source" by Leon Uris. It is about an archaelogical dig and the growth of the Jewish religion.

Loads! All of Jane Austen, Jane Eyre, many of Trollope's inc. the Barchester Chronicles, all the Palliser series and The Way We Live Now (a fantastic read), Lucky Jim, Three Men in a Boat, A Clergyman's Daughter, many of the William books, and another fantastic children's book nobody else has ever heard of, called Chalky, published in the 50s. The Woman in White, and many of Arnold Bennet's - the Clayhanger trilogy among others. Olivia Manning's Balkan Trilogy was a recent re read. Oh, and Cranford, which I'm re reading now, and too many more to mention.
I am fond nowadays of classics which I can get for 0p on the kindle!

Wurzelernie I don't know if you are still on here as this is quite an old.thread but I just wanted to thank you for recommending the Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society.
I've just finished it and it was a joy.

Birdsong: Sebastian Faulks

84 Charing Cross Road: Helene Hanff

And a book that I've read and re-read: The Loving Spirit,Daphne du Maurier's
first novel which has been out of print for years and the first "grown-up" book I read. It made me cry the first time I read it and still reduces me to tears all these years later. If you can find a copy - buy it - and enjoy.

I'm reading The Rainmaker by John Grisham at the moment, and the further I get into it, the convinced I become I've read it before. Can't remember what happens though so will carry on.

I have read alk the Poldark novels many times and always find something new.

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Like all his books it is a very complicated plot, but everything is explained. Superb

I've read many books more than once but the only book I've ever read twice in succession is 'The Bronze Horseman' by Paullina Simons. I couldn't bear to finish it so I went straight back to the beginning and read it again.

Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (first with my children and now with my grandchildren)
Rebecca
The Time Traveller's Wife

I reread The Colour by Rose Tremaine when I was travelling around New Zealand. I wasn't sure how much I liked it the first time but on second reading and able to relate more to it, I found I enjoyed it a lot.

Ditto To Kill A Mockingbird, but also:

The Cider House Rules (John Irving)
Cat's Cradle (Kurt Vonnegut Jr)
The Poisonwood Bible (Barbara Kingsolver)
The Book On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are (Dr Alan Watts)

I'm also going to re-read The Secret Life Of Bees (Sue Monk Kidd) as I found it so powerful.

Just re-read all five of the Frieda Klein series, written by Nicci French, and enjoyed them even more the second time round...

Jamila, exactly!!!

BBbevan one of the advantages of getting older is that you can re-read books and not remember the ending from the first time.

Jane Eyre ( did it for O level)
Kate Atkinson, Behind the Scenes at the Museum.
