books worth reading twice list challenges

I think reading challenges are so nice and such a good thing to join. I join the Goodreads Reading Challenge every year and it helps motivate me to keep picking up books. There are so many different reading challenges out there, I thought I would compile them into a master list so you can pick whichever suits your fancy. First things first, the list of challenges. These challenges give you prompts where you pick a book that is related to the prompt or it gives you a list of books to choose from that fits it. The 52 Book Club’s Reading Challenge - The 52 Book Club does this challenge annually with 52 prompts, so 1 book a week.

I have to say this is one of the most unique challenges since the prompts are so good. They aren’t your typical prompts. Indigo’s Reading Challenge - If you’re Canadian, you may have heard of a bookstore called Chapters. It’s basically the B&N of Canada. It’s 25 prompts and I love how this one is interactive and will take you to a list on their site with books suggested for the prompt. Book Riot’s Read Harder Challenge - Book Riot’s reading challenge is one of the more known.

They have a newsletter you can sign up for where they’ll provide guidance on each task. They also share other reading challenges and readathons from the internet in the newsletter. Highly recommend this one. A book’s total score is based on multiple factors, including the number of people who have voted for it and how highly those voters ranked the book. To vote on existing books from the list, beside each book there is a link vote for this book clicking it will add that book to your votes. To vote on books not in the list or books you couldn't find in the list, you can click on the tab add books to this list and then choose from your books, or...

"A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.” ― Charles Baudelaire Whose leaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost— Happy Sunday!

I enjoy reading stories that play with language, and create fascinating and creative words to fit their world. I recently finished Neuromancer by William Gibson which reminded me of the Matrix and was filled with invented terminology which had me lost part of the time, but was able to figure out the... A few years back I read the The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall in which he created a world of language where the words on the page created visual images of meaning. Another fascinating story about communication is Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dun in which as the 26 letters of the alphabet fall from a sign, the island residences are forbidden from using them in... From Star Trek to Dune to Lord of the Rings to Embassytown to 1984 to The Fifth Season, science fiction and fantasy is riddled with made up language.

An ardent reader, who also loves to listen 90's Bollywood songs. I have a keen interest in travel, food, books and the detailing of Mandala Art.View More © 2025 Bennett, Coleman & Company Limited This is an arbitrary list of books that I think are great and worth reading multiple times. To look at this list and think of it as anything more or less than my opinion is silly. That’s what just about all content on the internet is — someone’s opinion.

Without further ado, here are ten books that I think you should read at least once, and probably twice. How often do we try to find the easy path or the shortcut? I’d venture to say it’s more than 75% of the time. I just made up that statistic, and I’m not going to try to validate it in any way. The task of life is to live life. What stands in the way becomes the way.

Read this book once, and then read it again. That’s all there is to it. Do you have a fixed mindset, or do you have a growth mindset? Just opening ourselves up to the notion that we have the potential for change and growth can transform the way we think. Most of what you learn is surface-level drivel. You never get into the meat of something because you’re trying to learn too quickly.

You can’t learn well if you’re in a rush. I start all books the same – casually. I give them a read, and if I’m interested, I highlight passages along the way. No notes, deep rumination, and definitely no book notes – YET. I’m not speed reading, but I’m also not analyzing every paragraph. That would be a waste of my time.

At the end of a book, I’ll know if it’s worth learning. That’s an important concept in knowledge management –> not all books are equal. But when you come across a good one, you have a decision to make: If you stick around, that means a second reading. If you’ve ever watched a murder mystery and loved the twist, you know that watching it a second time reveals the “obvious” clues you missed. Usually, its more enjoyable as you scream in delight when spotting key pieces of information.

Instead of reading many books this year, commit to learning from a few. When you come across a good one, get out your notes and get to work. And if you scream in delight when something sticks, you should celebrate. You’re now reading well.
