Pick your own adventure books are meant to be read more than once and they often involve fantasy settings if thats what you're into. I've always loved Cassandra Clare's books and I highly recommend them!

i could read norwegian wood a million times but mainly the Midori parts

I love her so much man

I've read the more than once

Jane eyre

The Count of Monte Cristo

Les miserables

Sherlock Holmes (I forget them anyway lol)

Harry Potter as well

The song of achilles and circe by madeline miller

Pride and prejudice

for me, the hunger games series, the beautiful creatures series and the lovely bones

these books will forever remain timeless to me and i'll read them whenever

I think the books that changed me the most in life are the ones I dont want to read ever again. Because they are mostly too heavy for a reread.

For example Norwegian Wood. I hate this book. I love this book. I can never forget it, but I also never plan to read it ever again because it absolutely shattered me. I will never regret reading it though m kind of a paradox.

I usually don't have the urge to reread books as well but I do love coming back to these:

• Jane Eyre
• The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin
• Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
• His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman
• Harry Potter but only vol. 1-5

My fav books are

• Norwegian Wood
• A Song of Ice and Fire
• For the nostalgia - Twilight Saga
• The Lovely Bones
• The Vampire Diaries
• The Book Thief

I have a bunch of my favorite books separated for me to read again but i always procrastinate to do so because usually i don't like rereading and the reason is very simple: i always think that i could be using the opportunity to be reading something new. It's the same reason i rarely watch the same movie/show again. Sure there are plenty exceptions but for the most part I just read my favorite parts. One book that I surely reread several times was Fanny by Erica Jong. I also LOVE the ones that are like movies, like Sidney Sheldon's, And Then Were None, The Castle of Otranto, Body Snatchers, Maske:Thaery, A Kiss Before Dying etc. I imagine an actual movie when I read these so I love picking the cast, the set, etc. in a different way every time. Lmao

I haven't read as much as I would like to in the past few years however I'm always looking for books in the New Weird genre.

A few that I have already read:

House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski

Perdido Street Station - China Mieville

Annihilation - Jeff Vandermeer

City of Saints and Madmen - Jeff Vandermeer

This Book is Full of Spiders - David Wong

John Dies at the End - David Wong

Aside from that I like Neil Gaiman's work. American Gods is up there in my list of favorites of all time. Neverwhere and Stardust is somewhere there in the lower wrung. Good Omens as well. Sandman was a revelation. Edgy teen me ate it up.

I actually liked the Dunk and Egg self-contained short stories more than the actual mainline A Song of Ice and Fire books since it skirted the amount of lore I have to keep in mind.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a classic.

Read through most of the Dark Tower series but at this point, it's probably to better to re-read everything from the start since I have forgotten most of the details.

I started reading Delta Green: Extraordinary Renditions back in August last year and I still have to finish it. It's collection of mishmash of Lovecraftian stories and modern conspiracy theories.

Would a bibliophile guild make sense?

The last book I read was The Nine Hundred about a group of women who survived Auschwitz with one of the survivors recalling their experiences. It was moving and I cried several times throughout. What those women and everyone in the camps endured during those atrocities should never ever be forgiven.

The Dune books. I read Dune but can't get into the succeeding books. The world he created was obviously a product of its time. There's an obvious hippie-ness to it and Herbert's fascination with Eastern mysticism can be found all over the book which I found myself disconnected.
