Although I do not make a point of rereading any book, there are a few I read more than once. At one stage I decided to reread the first book that was not primarily a picture book (I was about ten or eleven then) I ever read on my own, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. That was quite an eye opener.

I re-read Clive Barker's Weaveworld not long ago. I like that book. His fantasy characters are wonderfully realised.

PermanentlyEph, I was so outraged by JLS when I first read it, shortly after it became popular, that I made a comic style parody of it which portrayed real seagull behaviours including their natural affinity for dumpster diving, pecking live critters apart, and dropping clams on the pavement.

Nabakov's writing is pretty close to perfect. I am often perplexed by peoples reaction to Lolita, but I suspect it's one of those books that has entered the public consciousness without being read by most people who hold an opinion on it.Probably mostly expressions of outrage on the grounds of not wanting to appear to be sympathetic to grown men who fuck under-age girls. It's a good read, and I don't think the book should ever have been banned. Perhaps I misremember, (I have read it about 30 years ago) but found it neither explicit nor approving about the fucking part. The most explicit bit consists of a single sentence, mentioning that Humbert jizzed into his pants with Dolores draped across his lap, but even then Nabokov uses a rather flowery way to describe that. Yes, the book contains erotic elements, but my take of the novel is that it is a rather oblique look at the USA of the fifties, written by someone who is very good indeed at stringing words together, someone who likes to indulge in his skill and to show it off.

The biggest problem with the book is that Dolores is no more than a cypher. Come to think of it, everyone but Humbert is pretty much mute. To make amends, a friend of my eldest sister recast the novel in a post war German setting, telling the story from the girl's point of view. In Mein Onkel Hubert (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mein-Onkel-Hubert-Sabine-Huttel/dp/3940731285) we get to know all the protagonists much better, as well as their milieu. I must confess, though, that part of my fascination with this version stems from the fact that I know the person "Onkel Hubert", who in this novel is a music teacher, choir leader and mentor, is based on. Apparently he read her novel soon after it was published and did not notice. That amazed me, because everyone else did. He is hardly disguised.

I quite like some of his stuff but there is no comparison between the herotic fiction of Martin and the subtle eloquent mischief of Nabakov. Nothing wrong with Martin but it's like comparing a fish to a bicycle.

I'm going to agree with rudeigineile on this, even though I don't particularly enjoy Nabakov's novels because I find some of his themes very plodding and overly tragic, full of surly women and victimised men. But it's a long time since I read Nabakov, and I've only read a few of his novels.

I wouldn't say fish/bicycle though. More like gelato/sherbet. :unsure:

I pretty well would read Gabriel Garcia Marquez' grocery lists though, more than once. I own and have read 100 Years of Solitude, Autumn of a Patriarch, Chronicle of a Death Foretold (which features, imv, some odd echos of Gertrude Stein's writing), and Love in the Time of Cholera, all more than once and some several times. And will read his other works as I have time and access.

Right, they're not alike at all. But although I admire Nabokov's verbal and psychological artistry, and because of that I enjoyed Lolita and Ada, the two of his books I have read, the kind of stuff Martin writes is much more what I like to read, and he does it extremely well. Probably neither would do well at the other's style... but wouldn't it be interesting if they were to try?

I don't usually make a point to reread things.. but I would like to read The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy series again. The absurdity of it put me in a great mood, when i did read it.If you enjoyed those, there's a good chance you'll also like his detective novels, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.

I love Dirk Gently :D
I admit to having lost count of the number of times I've re read Douglas Adams. I decided a while ago to give him up ..

I kind of wish he had stopped churning out the hitchhiker books after the first 3 and moved on to something else, The Dirk Gently books were a breath of fresh air, I'v only read them once each though. The tv show was disappointing have you seen it?

The original hitch hiker show is extremely dated.. as are the books.. Yes I liked dirk gently. And Last Chance to See.. I absolutely draw the line at the latest hitch hiker book although I admit to having read Starship Titanic by terry jones.
