If I like a book, I'll read it till my eyes bleed if it so suits me! I read so much, I get in trouble in class for it! I have to hide my true trivia knowledge of Star Wars from people. I act like I don't know as much, because they just don't understand.

I re-read the books over and over again. Especially while waiting for a new one to come out. I’ll re-read “Rebirth” this weekend. Last night, I had a stressful evening so I read “Wraith Squadron” before going to sleep because it’s funny. I own all but Paradise Snare and Splinter in a Mind's Eye so I can pick up any book when the mood strikes me.

What is the X-wing Strategy guide like? Is that where the cartoon pics on Rebelpilots.com from? You know the ones with the orange background and have two characters and their helmets on it? Does anyone know what I'm talkin' about????

Doesn't anyone here read anything other that Star Wars?...
The books i read over and over again are ones like:
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury
Farenheit 451 also by Ray Bradbury
1984 by George Orwell
The last two are worth re-reading especialy now in this era of restricted freedoms in excange for a fasade of security in a rapidly developing police state...FYI: The only branch of the three in the US left operational in this anthrax scare is the overly religious executive branch...now only shrub has any sembalance of control......anyway......

I reread every single one of the books in my shelf at least a dozen times. SW books, LOTR, and all my other faves i have read many, many times more than that. i love to read, so i read a lot...but the sw book i read the most would have to be probably DFR. Or TLC. Or HttE. Or SotP. Or VotF...basically...Zahn.

I've read Lord of the Rings several times, and Bob Salvatore's Icewind Dale and Dark Elf trilogies a few times each.

Although I do enjoy the Star Wars books, I find they are not quite worthy of multiple re-reads. Books that ARE worthy of constant re-reads are Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and... well, that's all I can come up with right now.

Hm...of Star Wars, I've reread TTT, and Starfighters of Adumar. I think I reread SotP and VotF, too.
Other books...most of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern books (except for Renegades of Pern, Dolphins of Pern, All the Weyrs of Pern, and Skies of Pern, which I only have reread when I had to for a trivia contest.) Also her "PartnerShip," "The Ship Who Searched," "The City Who Fought," and "The Ship Who Won." David Eddings's Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli. All Margurite Henry's horse books, almost all Walter Farley's Black Stallion books.
