The Novel you read the most...

[Gov Kodos]

Besides the two that I like to reread pretty regularly, I revisit my books frequently often just opening at random, or rereading particularly meaningful or interesting pages and passages. A book never revisited just seems like something that time has been wasted on or is one used to pass time and leave on the plane like a summer potboiler.

I'm a speed reader, so re-reading books is, to me, really no more taxing than re-watching a movie. The desire to read them again and again is the whole purpose of actually owning books in the first place. I don't see the point in buying and keeping much of anything that you're only going to use once,.

Clarke's "The City and the Stars" is one I've re-read quite a lot. In fact, I've re-read a lot of the big 3 (Clarke, Asimov, and Heinlein). Also into good sf&f satire, so I've re-read several of Pratchett's Discworld books, and Addam's "Hitchhiker's Guide" books. Re-read most of the works of King, Gaiman, Barker, and a few select titles by Koontz. And the classics of course: Twain, Wells, Verne, which I re-read every decade or so, to see what new understanding age has brought me.

Hmm, a good question. for various reasons these days I don't read as much as I used to.

Michael Moorcock, Robert E Howard, Howard Waldrop (seriously, he's a US author, brilliant alt.hist. stories, support the poor guy!), later Michael Crichton (read Jurassic Park before the movie was announced, was stunned by it), William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, plus his steampunk novel The Difference Engine, and numerous Discworld book.

In non-SF George MacDonald Fraser (his MacAuslan stories and The Flashman Papers, recommended for history buffs), Clive James (fiction, especially The Remake, and non-fiction, especially his TV criticism), as well as a couple of books on scriptwriting.
