Never mind. I changed my mind. I'll take literature for $1000 Alex.
A study reports that the most "reread" books are Shakespeare and Harry Potter, among others. I have only read a couple of books more than once. I read The Great Gatsby 7 or 8 times before I loaned my book out to an inconsiderate asshole who lost it. He gave me an L. Ron Hubbard book to make up for the loss which I carried around for awhile but then never read it. I wonder what happened to that book because I don't have it anymore.
Anyway - most reread books...“The Color Purple” ranks among the fiction most commonly re-read. Others include the Harry Potter books, the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” and Shakespeare’s plays. Also cited by the committee: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House on the Prairie,” Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” and A.A. Milne’s “Winnie the Pooh.” The ALA committee was composed of both librarians and editors with the trade publications Library Journal and Booklist.
