ten books worth reading twice if not more than twice medium

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.

But his A Gentleman in Moscow is a definite reread for me!! I much preferred a gentleman in Moscow as well! The Gentleman of Moscow was way better than Rules of Civility, imho. Haven’t read Crossing to Safety but have reread The Angle of Repose a couple of times and love it. The Secret Garden always warms my heart with each rereading. I just reread The Secret Garden.

Last time was about 50 years ago! Just as heart-warming now. I agree about Gentleman in Moscow being the better of the two books. Definitely enjoyed it even more the second time through. Also I absolutely have loved Secret Garden all my life! Welcome back.

Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. You can never step into the same book twice, because you are different each time you read it. I have often read favorite books more then once. Who Has Seen the Wind by W. O. Mitchell, I read twice; Stephen King’s The Stand, I read three times; The Razor’s Edge by W.

Somerset Maugham, five times; Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, I believe is somewhere between thirty five and forty reads (the annual reading of this holiday classic has been a Christmas tradition for me since... I have found, however, as I grow older, that, though I still have the desire to reread favorite books I can’t seem to justify it to myself, taking the time required to go back... Since turning fifty I kind of feel like I am running out of time. Even my own personal library contains numerous books that I have yet to read. When I was younger I would buy a book, or perhaps two or three at one time, and even large lots if I happened to get a really good deal at a used book... Rarely would I purchase another book until those new acquisitions were read.

That way there was nothing in my library that I hadn’t read. I know this may seem a little anal retentive, but it was how I did things. Somehow, over the years this practice has fallen by the wayside and I now have plenty of books at home that I need to find the time to get around to, and I am... My most recent purchase was The Chill by Scott Carson, which I pre-ordered from Chapters because of a recommendation by Stephen King, on Instagram. This book now sits in position number six on the end table next to my reading chair. The point I am so long windedly trying to make is that life may just be too short to read the same book twice.

Then again, it could be as John Barton said, and we never really read the same book twice. Either way I know that there are plenty of books that I have read that I would love to read again. While many books are easily consumed in one sitting, there are a select few books worth reading again and again. As a reader who rarely re-reads books, find out 10 books worth reading again, in my opinion. For those of you who have read my blog in the past, you’ll know that I rarely reread books. My insanely long to-read list is constantly putting pressure on me to read new books.

Consequently, I usually don’t find the time to give books I’ve already read a second go-round. Yet, some books are just so deliciously good that one read simply is not enough. Whether it is for stunningly beautiful plots, clever storylines or wonderful lessons, there are a few books worth reading again. Today, I decided to limit my list to 10 books worth reading again. Not because these are the only books worth reading again. I’ve limited my list because I’m trying to get myself back into blogging after taking a long break.

So dive right into my list, and be sure to comment at the end and let me know what books you think are worth reading again. Let’s kick off this list of books worth reading again with one of my favorites. I’m not at all surprised it won a Pulitzer Prize; the writing is fabulous. Anthony Doerr masterfully interweaves the stories of Marie-Laurie, a blind French girl who flees from Paris to the coastal city of Saint-Malo with her uncle, and Werner, a German radio operator charged with rooting... While the plot is interesting in and of itself, the character development and storytelling will keep you glued to the page. Brett • January 29, 2019 • Last updated: September 26, 2021

Given the fact that there are over 130 million books in existence, it’s easy to despair of ever having the chance to read even the smallest fraction of them. And given how little headway you’ll ultimately make on that number, even if you’re a regular reader and live to a ripe old age, it can be hard to justify reading the same book,... But I think there are several good reasons to do so. The first is that each time you read the same book, you come away with new insights. You get different things out of a book when you read it at 36 than you did at 16 (and you’ll find different things at age 76, too). Second, even when you’ve learned and affirmed the principles of a personal development or philosophical-type book, you have to revisit them regularly to keep them at the forefront of your mind.

Humans are slothful, forgetful creatures; even when a book’s insights initially made your spirit soar and unlocked a new dimension in your thinking, without regular reminders, you’ll be taking them for granted in a...
