      Oh my goodness...When I was in third grade I was on a 2nd year college reading level but I continuously checked out one book throughout the year, "The Trumpet Of The Swan" by E.B. White
      
      The book sang to me of how a voiceless swan could get his voice in the world (how if you look hard enough you can always find the tools you need to over come life's obstacles). 
      
      It is still true today and a valuable lesson was learned just by the simple act of finding pleasure in reading.
      
      Thanks for this topic. It's a good one to use to get people to read and adventure the world through books

      I have read so many books several times that it would be hard to choose the list. Jane Austin, Pride and Prejudice. Anything by Georgette Heyer whose novels are old friends have been read many times. The Lord of the Rings, Anne McCaffrey's Dragon Rider series. I am currently rereading a college text book called Beyond Feelings which is an instruction manual for critical thinking. It is helpful to keep my thinking on track. There are many more.

      DM Thomas - what an incredible (and underrated) author he is.  I've read The White Hotel, his most famous novel (which should have won the Booker instead of Midnight's Children) several times, but I remember in the 80s reading The Flute Player, and I literally just could not get it out of my mind, to the extent that I had to read it again a few weeks later.  For that reason it remains my all time favourite novel - I re-read it a couple of years ago and it's still amazing.

    I've read Lord of the Rings three times, and like Amanda I probably will read the Harry Potter books again at some point.  I've also read Len Deighton's Game, Set and Match trilogy a couple of times.  Sometimes a book is just "right" for you at a certain time in your life, but not at other times.  For example, I first read Douglas Coupland's Generation X when I was in my twenties and absolutely loved it.  Recently I read it again and while I still thought it was a good book, it just didn't light my fire in anything like the same way it did twenty years ago.

    I adore Don Quixote by Cervantes, James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, and like most females, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin.  I have read them all numerous times. 
    
    By the way, I thought the movie of James and the Giant Peach was pathetic.  It left out the best part of the book.  The cloudmen who make our weather were amazing in the book.
