I was in high school at one point, yes. While I was there, I had a tendency to read the assigned books before we went over them in class, at which point I would read them again. Hence why the list provided very much resembles that given to high school students.FoolKiller said:
I have read Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr multiple times to prepare myself for the exciting conclusion to the Inheritance Cycle.
I've enjoyed them every time. Of course, that just may spark from my love for dragons, magic, and of the like. You may feel otherwise, but the three books are also incredibly engaging if you get into it enough.
I nostalgia'd.
"CRUD!!!"

going from your username (I may be completely wrong), but have you ever read the Chronicles of the Necromancer series?Arontala said:
Totally one I would reread too, Jonmarc Vahanian is a legend!
The only book I've read more than once (about four times, in fact, the first time when I was about seven or eight) was White Fang by Jack London. I might even read it again at some point in the future, because obviously I've grown more since the last time I read it and I might be able to glean more meaning from it than I did the last few times. As far as books that I might reread, I'm probably going to go through Dead Space: Martyr again once I get my copy back from the person I loaned it to (and, yes, I know how odd it is to go from a century-old classic to a video game tie-in, but I don't really care; Martyr's a damn good book. The person I loaned it to isn't even a gamer and they say enjoyed what they've read so far).
I reread almost everything, so this doesn't mean a whole lot coming from me, but both me and my mother have read at least three times the entirety of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. And some people consider it a feat to do it once.
The Beast, The Eunuch and the Glass-Eyed Child: Television in the 80's
A really interesting series of essays from Ron Powers. Exposes a lot about what was going on in the 80's to make American television into what it is today. Also shines a big light on the founding of MTV and it's initial philosophy. Powers tends to intellectualize, but it's still very interesting and valid to this day.

I personally love all of Terry Brooks' new trilogies and plan to re-read them in the near future. I also plan to read his old books as I love his writing style. I have noticed though that he has a habit of doing everything possible to make his characters as miserable as possible.
Still, I love the world he has made in his Shanara books and I would recommend picking up one of them to see if you like them, my personal favorite being the Genesis of Shanara trilogy.

Anything by Gary Paulsen (Hatchet) Boy gets on plane, pilot has heart attack (lololol) plane goes awry, boy must survive on his own. (trilogy)
Phillip Pulman (His Dark Materials/Golden Compass Trilogy) Amazing, absolutely terrific, read this series at least once before you expire
and Vince Flynn (Act of Treason) although Vince Flynn is mainly stuff concerning federal things, so if you're not into that... then :/

The Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix, A Song of Ice and Fire series by George Martin, The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, and The Belgariad & The Malloreon series(es) by David Eddings.
Read Assassin Apprentice by Robin Hobb. Then, read the other 2 books in the trilogy, the trilogy following that, the 2 different series branching off of those, and the Soldier Son trilogy. Every one of those books is worth reading over and over again. FitzChivalry is probably one of my favorite characters ever =D
Also, His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman is epic.

I haven't seen the movie, but from what I've heard, they're both very good but completely different. For example, the book is told in the first person from the perspective of Chief Bromden, if you only saw the movie, you would never know that or how important his character is.flaviok79 said:
I've re-read A Clockwork Orange, Will Storr Vs. The Supernatural, World War Z and The Long Hard Road out of Hell.
I'll probably re-read Nineteen Eighty-Four, Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead and Lord of the Flies.
