In general, I do little rereading. Which, in a way, makes me sad. 'Cause there really are oodles of books I'd love to reread. But I think I'm always daunted by the size of the piles of books I haven't even read a first time.
There are two books that I've read multiple times though.
I seriously wish that my sleep-craving mind could think of some kind of good reason why these are the two books that I have spent more time with in my life than any others, but I just can't. Nothing that makes me sound the slightest bit sane anyway. Sheesh...sometimes I wish I were more classy, and I could eloquently explain why I've felt the need to read War and Peace twenty-four times. But I am neither classy nor eloquent, and I haven't read War and Peace for the first time yet, let alone the 24th.

I'm with you. I rarely reread something...too much new stuff that tempts me ;)
Keep reading...we're past the hump and heading into the last couple of hours!
When I was a teenager babysitting they had the book Helter Skelter and I picked it up to read and was scared out of my mind!
I will read The Stand soon! Promise, promise!
I rarely reread either. There are too many new books that I want to read. :)
Now that would be a good one for me during the read-a-thon--would scare the crud out of me and I WOULDN'T be able to sleep. I don't do scary.
you are one crazy kid. you've read and read again?! Helter Skelter!? oh my,
The idea of reading War and Peace 24 times is terrifying to me! I dont know that I could get through it once, haha!
I do have to say that choosing those two books to re-read and re-read does make you look a bit twisted. LOL.
I thought The Stand was a great book - but it's so long I doubt I'll ever re-read it.
I haven't read War and Peace either :/ I've always wanted to read Helter Skelter though! I've told you before I'm a big true crime fan and that's like the ultimate story!
The kind of class you are referring to is overrated! ;)
I love rereading and used to do much more of it than I do now. I rarely give in to that pleasure in comparison to the way my reading habits used to be. But once in awhile I just have to visit old friends.
Hope you are doing okay in these wee hours! I'm pooped!
Thanks for participating in my mini-challenge. Too often now, my rereads lose out to the books I haven't read. I really enjoyed The Stand. Happy resting today.
