What book would you say you enjoyed so much that you often find yourself reading it multiple times, for me its the Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon.

Whenever I can do so, it's either Fahrenheit 451 or Animal Farm.

It’s really hard to pick a favorite, but I think I’ve probably reread Lord of the Rings and Jane Eyre the most.

When I was in high school I loved reading "The Young Royals". Fictional stories about some of history's most famous female monarchs telling the story from their points of view as young princesses to adult queens who made their mark on history.

There were books that focused on the women of House Tudor like Mary I, Elizabeth I, Catherine of Aragon, an Anne Boleyn.

There were also books on Marie Antoinette, Catherine de'Medici, Mary: Queen of Scots, and Cleopatra.

I haven't really read any books in a while, I have read a couple...read some of Dune, didn't finish it. I was thinking of walking over to the closest library tomorrow to get a Library card.

I was a bookworm as a child, but well after a gun violence incident at my school I couldn't get lost in books like I used to(I became aware of the gun-man in the school while I was trying to just finish a couple more pages before the teacher started their lecture when the announcement came on, and it kind of ruined it for a while for me. But I have started to slowly enjoy reading again, its kind of few and far between but I would love to try and get lost in a book again.

And idk maybe I'd like some audio books, but I don't think I'd like a book download to read on a screen....if I am reading it I'd want an actual physical book.

OMG, I LOVE Outlander :D :D :D I have most of the volumes at home.

But my holy trinity of my most favorite novels ever is:

1. Ancient Evenings by Normal Mailer.
2. The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
3. Other Voices, Other Rooms by Truman Capote.

The Master and Margarita - an exceptional novel by the russian doctor/writer Michael Bulgakov
written secretly in the 1930s during Stalin's dictatorship.
Finally released outside Russia in the 1960s and was stunningly popular immediately in Europe and UK and is still selling.
Has been reprinted every decade since it was obtainable in the West in English with various covers and translated by many different translators.

Very unique, unlike any other novel I have ever read. I still read it every second year.

Ya thats highly ironic because one of the Ten Commandments is Thou Shall Not Steal. i assume its the Gideon Bibles in all the Hotels that get stolen a lot. Although I kind of think they might not mind so much because maybe that thief would become a Christian. just a theory.
