What BOOK have you read more than five times ..?
« on: March 10, 2011, 11:23:25 am »
As this Forum is based on the passionate love of things in our past, I'm wondering
what your favourite books may be, please?
May I offer the yardstick as being; that you've re-read it/them many times ...

Mine are the Nino Culotta trilogy.
"They're a Weird Mob"   (About 15 times)

"Cop This Lot"               (About six times)

"Gone Fishin' "              (About 8 times)

Bryson's Made in America is probably the only one, I am constantly rereading it and pick up something new each time. I've read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance several times as well. I must admit that most of my reading these days is on the Internet...

If you haven't read "A short history of nearly everything" you've lost out. Makes science fun and interesting. It's also hilarious.

Ditto. Recommended reading for anybody with a brain or pretensions of having a brain.

Every bloody workshop manual I own - especially the bits on electrics!

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a favourite. An easy repeat read and no punchline!

'Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire'

I think there is something about hubris and how your luck can run out in there someplace.

Jerry is right - Robert G Barrett's stuff is cool - especially the Les Norton stories!

Also: "Christine" by Stephen King
