Books I've read twice (many years apart): The Scarlet Letter, On the Beach, and The Wind in the Willows. I don't think I've ever ready anything three times.

There have been several times I've totally loved a book and thought, I'm definitely going to read that again, but then when I tried I couldn't enjoy it. Once I know what happens the magic isn't there. But I am kind of re-reading (more like skimming and picking out my favorite parts) the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin. I love Game of Thrones so much that I enjoy reading the books when the show is done for the year. :)Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-7115765155752391662014-06-18T06:29:18.529-07:002014-06-18T06:29:18.529-07:00Stephen King's The Stand--twice.

I would have read more but I couldn't find books three and four on audio and at the time, I was reading books on my commute so they had to be on audio for me to read them.

Anyway, I agree with you on this, my time is wildly sparse with a 15 month old baby crawling about. Whew! He's crazy cute. There are a few books I have read more than once, but they have to appeal to my emotions.<br /><br />One that I have read about 3 times so far is Giants of the Frost by Kim Wilkins. Oh, how I love it--especially when the broken female character gains her most heartbreaking wish. *sigh*<br /><br />Thanks for this post! <3<br /><br /><a href="http://elizabethmueller.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">♥.•*¨Elizabeth¨*•.♥</a><br>Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-74103251950015067872014-06-17T09:52:31.383-07:002014-06-17T09:52:31.383-07:00Oh, I LOVE rereading books!

So time is definitely a factor for me as well. I used to read books again growing up, but there few books I've reread as an adult. One however, is The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery. For some reason that is a classic favorite of mine. :) <br /><br />Have a great weekend!

Perhaps it is because I cannot identify with any character the way I would earlier! Could be.
