S/O rereading: What books do you reread?

[RoxMonster]

I re-read certain books at certain times of the year because I teach them, so that's probably sorta-kinda cheating. But those are:

In the fall I re-read Nineteen Minutes, The Lovely Bones, Gentlemen, The Great Gatsby, The Old Man & the Sea.

In the spring, I re-read Shakespeare plays (whichever I am teaching that year).

I have re-read really great books for leisure reading, though too. One that comes to mind is Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. I first read it during the summer and it seems like a "summer" sort of book to me, so I also re-read it during the summer.

[pierogigirl]

Summer: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Winter: All the James Herriott books (All Creatures Great and Small, etc.)

There are others I read over and over, but not during a particular season.

[demofea01]

I don't have any that I read based on season but I always end up rereading these at least once a year.

Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop
Game of Thrones
Kushiel's Legacy Series by Jacqueline Carey
Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb
Pride and Prejudice

[Deleted]

The Secret History is the perfect PERFECT fall book. I will need to pull out my copy soon.

In the summer I usually read Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight.

And winter is Paris to the Moon.

Harry Potter. I've reread them all at least ten times.

Sent from my XT910 using proboards

[CheshireGrin]

I follow no seasons. I just reread when a book pops into my head. A lot of Neil Bauman and Stephen King get read over and over. Also Shirley Jackson. Just a few that come to mind quickly.

[McGavin]

I reread this totally random book, Paddle to the Amazon. It's just this non-fiction book of the story of a father and son and their 2 year canoe trip from Manitoba down to Brazil. Usually I'll read it when I've got nothing else but I love that book for some reason.

[Knight]

I usually reread Harry Potter in the winter, Jane Austen in the spring, and The Stand in the fall. My summer reading is usually nonfiction historical biographies that I may or may not have read before.

[booknerd]

I usually read HP every summer but haven't yet. I was going to read it over winter break but now after that HP thread I'm bumping it up lol.

That's the only one I read during a certain part of the year. I re-read a lot of:
A Thin Dark Line - Tami Hoag 
Sanctuary - Nora Roberts
To Kill a Mockingbird
Little Women

[joshlyman]

Harry Potter series
The Watchers
To Kill a Mockingbird
1984
The Unlikely Disciple
Good in Bed
His Dark Materials series

More I can't think of ...

[wrathofkuus]

I always reread Summer Sisters in the summer.

[rupertpenny]

I don't do this seasonally, but I reread pillars of the earth about once a year. HP and jitterbug perfume are also in heavy rotation, as is the historian and the his dark materials series.

I also may have read the clan of the cave bear books more times than I would care to admit.

[5hole]

Carol Goodman books, especially Lake of Dead Languages
The Glass Lake by Maeve Binchy
Twilight Eyes by Dean Koontz

[TrudyCampbell]

I like reading Bridget Jones's Diary after Christmas for some fun and I've read all the HP books a million times. Other than that I generally don't re-read because there is so much new stuff I always want to read.

[pantsparty]

Harry Potter
Memoirs of a Geisha
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Peony in Love
White Oleander
Into Thin Air

I LOVE Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, and it is the perfect summer reread. 

Spring/Summer
The Secret Garden 
The beginning of Moby Dick
Lolita
The Poisonwood Bible
David Sedaris assortments

Fall/Winter
The Death of Ivan Ilych 
Ender's Game Series
Man's Search for Meaning- Victor Frankl
A Christmas Carol 

I'll probably reread the Hunger Games series before the next movie. 

[noradog]

Not by season, but
HP
Cheaper by the Dozen
Agatha Christie Miss Marple short stories

[mssaint]

Lurker chiming in--I reread The Great Gatsby, Harry Potter, the Road from Coorain by Jill Ker Conway and The Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger once a year.

There are others I reread but not as regularly.

[shananagins]

I don't go by season, other than reading more in the summer because I'm out of school, but I regularly reread:

To Kill A Mockingbird
Lonesome Dove
The Shawshank Redemption (I also will watch this any time it's on TV)
The Prince of Tides
The Cider House Rules
Several David Sedaris books

At Christmas I read David Sedaris Holidays on Ice and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

[lolly]

It's not Christmas until I've read The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore and Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris. (I actually prefer them both on audiobook if that counts.)

[underwaterrhymes]

Stephen King I read over and over. Especially The Stand, It, and The Shining.

Harry Potter and The Hunger Games.

Shantaram.

But the winners probably are Charlotte's Web and Where the Red Fern Grows. I've read both of those probably 20 times or more.

ETA - rarely by season, but I agree with needing to read The Shining during the winter. I'm excited about the sequel with fall coming up soon.

[spellingbea]

Not by season:

A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again- David Foster Wallace

Like a Hole in the Head- Jen Banbury

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil- John Berendt

Me Talk Pretty One Day- David Sedaris

There are lots more I've read more than once (including The Secret History), but these are the ones I have to read every now and then.

[iamgrace]

Spring/Summer - The Blue Castle, White Oleander, The Awakening, Prodigal Summer, Goat Song, The Solace of Leaving Early

Fall/Winter - The Tenderness of Wolves, Elizabeth and After, Elle


I love reading other people's book lists.

Right now I'm re-reading Orange is the New Black because I watched the series.

[joshlyman]

Oh and The Giver

[CurlyQ284]

I reread the Harry Potter, Outlander, Into the Wilderness and Game of Thrones series. It doesn't go by seasons. Usually I will read a did, quit halfway through and think "I'll never find another good book again!" And go to my comfort food books.

Also, the Into the Wilderness characters are like family. Jamie Fraser is my boyfriend, I want to mother Harry Potter and just fix the mess that is Westeros. I'm overly involved in these fictional worlds.

[Deleted]

Mostly books that have been made into movies before I go see them, but I do also read To Kill a Mockingbird and Watership Down over and over.
