That Book You've Read 100000 Times

Hitchhikers guide trilogy (all 5) are books I will reread every few years. same for 1984. I'm overdue for a reread of Ender's Game (and the bean one was pretty good too).

 

Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius. easy acess stoic philosophy. (there's a line from the move '10 things I Hate About You' that goes something like "I know Shakespeare is a dead white guy, but he knows his shit." ame applies here)

 

speaking of Shakespeare.... read his plays. the language is kinda like a scottish accent, you warm up to it pretty quickly if you don't understand it right off the bat.

 

and I should point out the reason '10 things...' is talking about shakespeare is because it is essentially a modern retelling of "the Taming of the Shrew" set in Seattle and with Heath Ledger.

speaking of Shakespeare..."There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,

Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." favorite line.

the book I've read more than any other would probably be Gone with the Wind.

 

First read it when I was like 9.

Oh god, where do I start? Just like Dr. Joske, when I pick up a book in a series, I reread the whole thing.

 

Please don't consider this spam:

 

Harry Potter series: J.K Rowling

Under the Dome: Stephen King

Pendragon series: D.J Machale

Treasure Island: Robert Louis Stevenson

Inkheart series: Cornelia Funke

Green eggs and Ham: Dr. Seuss (Don't you love little sisters?)

Eragon series: Cristopher Paolini

 

Those are just a few :) I <3 my books!
