Will you reread?

[Frozeninja]

Currently the only series' I have plans to re-read this year are Martin's aSoIaF and Janny Wurts "War of Light and Shadow". I imagine there'll be others as the year goes on though

I used to re-read practically all of my books when I was younger...I must've read the Harry Potter books (at least the first four) about 10 times each. Now, there are so many books I want to read, it's just a case of getting through them, with no time to go back to any that I really liked.
However, there are some books that I will always endeavour to re-read:
The Secret Garden...my favourite children's book, I can re-read this and never grow tired of it.
Most of Stephen King's books! Especially the Dark Tower series, my favourite being The Wastelands. And Misery, that is an excellent book.

 

[Crong]

Pretty much every book I own. I can't afford to buy many books, so I have to get by with a handful.

 

[BAYLOR]

Anything by Clark Ashton Smith.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I do a lot of rereading, but usually spread out over a longer stretch of time between readings. And it is not something I plan. I'll just get an impulse to revisit a favorite story and characters, so that's what I will do.

Dune, Robert E. Howard, Lord of the Rings, and Asimov all get reread by me.

I recently found myself rereading Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu. It's lost none of its power.

 

[Vince W]

Yes, Lovecraft, Poe, and CAS are all very rereadable.

Stephen King never gets old.

I'm using the time cycling home to listen to the the Iain M. Banks Culture audiobooks. I've just finished Use of Weapons. I'll listen to The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy next.

 

[Yozh]

Ursula LeGuin I reread, not much else. Honestly, really long books I just don’t want to give so much of my life to.

 

[The Big Peat]

I've reread 13 books this year and 69 last. Sometimes I prefer rereading to new.

Usual targets for rereads are Pratchett, Gemmell, GGK, Lindsey Davis, Cornwell, Feist, Eddings, Brian Jacques... but, well, anyone I first read between 8 and 18. Very few newer to me authors have got that - just Saad Z Hossain and Lois McMaster Bujold.

Every year?

I don't re-read anything every year, to answer the OP question.

No, not every year. Just when I feel like it.

It seems folks are answering the question in the thread title, but not the much narrower charge for discussion made in the original posting. A thread on rereading in general is fine although we might have one like that already, or more than one, but it would be interesting to know about things truly read every year.

There was a time, when I was a youngster, in which I probably did read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings every summer, or something close to that. Regrettably, I didn't keep a reading log that long ago, from about age 11 on. (I started to 49 years ago!)

For many years, there have been books that I read again more or less every few years, but that's not what the OP asked about. One of these would be Arthur Machen's autobiography Far-Off Things.

As I'm a member of a liturgical church that follows an historic lectionary, and because I use a daily prayer book with Psalms and passages from other parts of the Bible, there are many passages of the Bible that I read every year, but, having racked my brain, I'd say these readings would be the only reading I do that literally conforms to the OP. (Also I watch a DVD of Bach's St. Matthew Passion every Lent, following a subtitle text.)

But lately I've been reading a lot more poetry than I used to, and it's likely that I'll be reading some poems again and again. It's funny to be in my sixties and finding that only now, at last, am I keen to read poetry every day. My chief guide in this, and the author of many of the poems I read, is Walter de la Mare. I warmly recommend the recent annotated selection of de la Mare poems prepared by William Wootten. If you want to get a well-regarded thick anthology of poetry by many hands, de la Mare's Come Hither could be a good choice. Used copies shouldn't be hard to find if you don't mind library discards. It seems it has been published in a two-volume format as well as (what I have) a thick book of about 800 pages.
