What is a book that you will gladly read again?

I have all discworld books, I would definitely reread most of them. I just reread The Hail Mary Project.

Project Hail Mary was amazing. Can't wait for the movie too.

The Dark Tower series. All of them

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

by Robert M. Pirsig

A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet - Becky Chambers

Most of The Culture series

Lord Of The Rings.
He Who Fights With Monsters.
Thrawn.
The Hunt For Red October.
The Cardinal of the Kremlin.

So many I will give another listen to.

A few I've read at least twice and will definitely read again at some point:

Catch 22
Infinite Jest
The Windup Bird Chronicle
The Handmaid's Tale
Full 5 part Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy
His Dark Materials Trilogy (plus the Book of Dust series, if we ever get that last one!!)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Brave New World
Slaughterhouse Five

Neuromancer moves faster than some movies. Absolutely worth rereading

Several that others have already mentioned, and:

The Golden Age Oecumene, by John C Wright
The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox, by Barry Hughart
Any and all of The Culture novels
The Hobbit, and TLotR trilogy. Used to read them every summer, for about twenty years.
Armor, by John Steakley. Sadly, the only sci-fi novel he ever wrote, and one of only two books he ever authored, IIRC.
The Jean le Flambeur trilogy by Hannu Rajaniemi, which is on my list to read again this year.
A Wizard of Earthsea trilogy, which I'm about to read again as soon as my wife finished them.
The Chronicles of Narnia, which I used to read frequently when younger. I'm almost afraid to pick them up again now, for fear that they won't be as good (for an adult) as I remember.

Just done a reread of these and would gladly reread again.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (all 5 books in the series)

They are short enough that you could easily read all of them in a couple months at a steady pace.

Adam Levin's The Instructions

Ecclesiastes

Philip K. Dick's Galactic Pot-Healer — actually most Dick outside of A Scanner Darkly

Neal Stephenson's... well, anything, but especially Zodiac, Anthem, and Diamond Age

Brian Daley's Requiem for a Ruler of Worlds

Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood and The Blind Assassin

Anything by Ursula LeGuin, ever

Hugh McLeod's Ignore Everybody

Lloyd Alexander's Prydain series

Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Trilogy

The Murderbot diaries.

This is also an awesome thread. I see a lot of books I love and a lot that I'm interested in.

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

The Sandman Slim series

And

The Dresden Files series

The Dispossessed

Left Hand of Darkness

I’m not a big rereader, but at some point I’d like to read through the expanse and the locked tomb again

I've read Terry Pratchett's Night Watch three times, currently reading The Color of Magic for the first time and then I'm going to re-read Mort

I've read Ellen Raskin's The Westing Game three times, but that was for school. Pretty good children's mystery book, though

I plan to reread all Clive Barker novels a second time, at some point in my life. His prose is just so unique and has an effortless beauty about it that I've yet to find in another author.

Plot can only really draw you in once... when you already know what happens in a story it doesn't have the same pull it had the first time. But prose has a lasting appeal, one that can be revisited. The indescribable quality of the way that words can make you feel is unique to the relationship between reader and writer.

The bone comic book omnibus from Jeff smith Bone omnibus amazon link

The book is basically Tolkien+Disney, it is aimed at a kid audience but it tackles some heavy topics that adults will enjoy, its great because it tackles metaphysics a lot in ways that are interesting for all ages.

I should probably give The Illuminatus! Trilogy another read.

Speaker for the Dead

Eisenhorn

Count of Monte Cristo

The Emperor of All Maladies

Moby Dick

Lords of Silence

All Honorable Men: History of the war in Lebanon

Adams and Victor's Principles of Neurology

The Biology of Cancer (Weinberg)

Japan to 1600

History of Medieval Russia (Martin)

The Baltic: A History

On War (Clausewitz)

The Back Channel

Timbuktu (Villiers)

Sorry if this is too many, just looked at my book app for ones I keep reading.

Edit: Fuck it, I'm having fun. Here are a few more I remembered while roasting a bowl.

Dune

Amulet of Samarkand

Venice (Madden)

The Golden Compass

First and Only (Abnett) - read the first omnibus

Harrisons Manual of Medicine 18th ed

Gomorrah (Saviano)

The Gunpowder Age (Tonio)

The Money Illusion (Sumner)

Witcher, I've read it at least once every two/three years for the last 18 years and it's still entertaining.

Nobody has yet mentioned A Gentleman in Moscow, so I will. It's fairly recent, but I know I'll read it again in a couple of years.

Snow Crash Rendezvous with Rama Foundation (all of them) Moonwalking with Einstein (non function about memory champions)

'The Count of Monte Cristo' is one I look forward to reading every few years.

Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

The Count of Montecristo.

Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke

I re-read it a few times already, and even though written in the 50s it holds up quite well (except for the total absence of computers). Its a brilliant read. Edit: to clarify, I meant the societal trends he projected are quite fascinating. Also the transition to a post scarcity society. It's not very prophetic obviously. :)

There are so many, but here are a few from the top of my head:

The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien.

The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien.

Time Enough For Love, Robert A. Heinlein.

Starship Troopers, Robert A. Heinlein.

Don Quijote, Miguel de Cervantes.

Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri.

Dune, Frank Herbert.

Paradise Lost, John Milton.

Childhood's End, Arthur C. Clarke.

The Riftwar Saga, Raymond E. Feist.

Considering I am currently rereading the Stormlight Archive - I’ll go with that.

Books. Multiple.

The Practice Effect by David Brin. It's an isekai (it's not anime, but it's an isekai) where things get MORE useful when you use them, reversing entropy.

Sentenced to Prism. MC is sent on a mission to a world inhabited by silicate based life forms. Shenanigans ensue. Mildly autistic coded MC.

Resurrection Inc. The dead are resurrected as mindless zombie robots. Sometimes it goes wrong and the dead regain their memories. The MC does. Hijinks ensue.

edit - more

Mistborn Chronicles - an orphan gets super powers in a very messed up world. A group recruits her for a heist.

I am Legend - reading it again just now.

World War Z has hit differently after major life stages: College, marriage, kids, global pandemic, etc.

I'm a big rereader in general, but occasionally a book will grab me so hard that I finish it & begin again right away. I've had two of those in the past year:

Moonbound by Robin Sloan
Cahokia Jazz by Francis Spufford

Also, I keep meaning to make time to re-read some required reading books from HS: Where the Red Fern Grows, Call of the Wild, Flowers for Algernon. It's probably all going to be painfully YA, but I've thought about the stories often over my life, and they deserve a re-read.

The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990–1990
its short so suitible for a quick reread & even for people who dont like books
its like a childbook in the amount of text but more for adults

Lockstep by Karl Schroeder Hard sci-fi about how a intergalactic empire being run without developing any faster than light technology.

Kokoro.

Also have vague plans to reread Der Zauberberg

Likely also will reread V. and the Count of Monte Christo at some point.

There’s some good (and also some inexplicable to me) books here already so I won’t mention any of them.

I’ll choose P. G. Wodehouse. Although he’s more famous for Jeeves and Wooster I much prefer his Blandings stories. Such sublime, perfection.

His writing seems so effortlessly easy but others who have attempted to emulate it have all fallen ugly, leaden, clumsy and short of his comic genius.

A Clockwork Orange The Ware series by Rudy Rucker Heartstones by Ruth Rendell Coal by J. Jason Grant Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. A comic book about comic books, cartoons, sequential art, and art in general.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understanding_Comics

Clemens p suter’s two journeys series.

Synchronicity because I just put a book on hold at the library that I'm going to read again. It is called "Galileo's Dream" by Kim Stanley Robinson, and it's half historical fiction, half science fiction about: "what if future humans living on the Galilean moons of Jupiter discovered time travel and needed Galileo's help?"
