I think I have actually read Beauty by Robin McKinley that many times over the years, starting when I was ten. -Mari

To Kill a Mockingbird and a few others come to mind as well -Heather

To Kill a Mockingbird, my favorite! -Darryl

I've done that - Soldier of the Great War by Mark Helprin. The first time I read it I was so unhappy to be almost finished when I was 20 pages from the end that I just flipped back to the first page and started right over again. -Sarah

China Men by Maxine Hong Kingston, Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich, Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, and I also agree with To Kill A Mockingbird -Sheryl

Little Women came to mind first. And I've read The Secret Garden every spring for decades. -Arwen

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek is one that I like to reread. If I was stuck on a desert island, I would bring a long one: The Brothers Karamazov. -Jennifer

That's why I keep the ones I like around. -Colleen

Breakfast of Champions -Lee

Jane Eyre. BTW, I have already read it at least that and more! My fave. -Bronwyn
