I LOVE to read and go through books like they're nothing. No matter what I am reading, I always read the same 3 books every year.

1. The Life of Pi, by Yann Martel
2. The Good Earth, by Pearl Buckley
3. Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden

So what books do you keep re-reading. I'm always look for new things to read.

*Note - Anything 50 Shades does not qualigy as a book!! Kidding...maybe

    I should probably read LOTR
    I loved the first Hunger Games, but Setting Fire and Mockingjay were so dark!
    I should probably read the Narnia books, I never have!

    Lamb - Christopher Moore

    I LOVE Christopher Moore so much. My daughter and I read A Dirty Job together and there were parts we had to stop because we were laughing so hard we were crying and couldn't breathe.

    I reread quite a few books, even if they aren't my favorite. I don't actually have a favorite book because choosing one makes me feel as though i'm favoring one of my own children, haha.

    Three books I tend to reread though, to answer your question:
    1. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.
    2. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger.
    3. Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut.

    Pride and Prejudice-Jane Austen
    Eating in the light of the moon- Anita Johnson
    and I'm afraid I don't have a third really, unless it's another Jane Austen!

    Have you shot anyone recently, or had concerning thoughts about a celebrity? :wink:
    That is the oddest book I read at school, should read it again, I just remember thinking "What?"!

    This, except take out the Chronicles of Narnia (good, but not my top 3) and substitute "Game of Thrones".

    What? I'm not a nerd or anything :(
