- Aquila: I've tried to limit myself to books that aren't already on this list, but it would be a lie not to include my most reread book.tardis: I re-read LOTR less than I used to, but it still has the power to suck me in all over again.MaowangVater: Sure to enter the canon of 20th century English literature.CarltonC: I reread LotR multiple times into my twenties, but have only attempted it once in my fifties.JohnChic: This is and has been my most re-read book in the last 50 yesrs.elahrairah: I reread the Lord of the Rings every eighteen months or so between the ages of 12 and 20, and then again after I watched The Return of the King. I really must go back to it again sometime.

I re-read it many times during my adolescence-teenage just to recapture that feeling.dutchgirldtd: I first read this when in my 40's and I'm very glad because I don't think I would have appreciated Jane Austen's wit and writing when I was younger. It just never gets old!

But when I re-read it, I realized that I was reading the story of a teenager who'd had a nervous breakdown and was in a psych hospital; it broke my heart. I want to wrap Holden up in my arms and hug him until he lets it all out.

MC, Maia, is an engaging, three-dimensional personality, having an unusual back-story of being completely ignored by his emperor-father and 3 older half-brothers. Yet he becomes the heir to the throne with next-to-no training or education in Imperial behaviours and governance.
