What are your favorite books that you enjoy reading, and rereading, that seems to never get boring?

I love Louis Lamour's Westerns, infact I have probably a hundred of his books. 🙂
 
I liked The Giver, in the aspect that it helped show what a town could be like, if it was ran in such a way that everyone had a job that only they could do.
 
I love Alternate History series.

The Emberverse by S.M. Stirling
1632 by Eric Flint
Southern Victory by Harry Turtledove
 
I can do a thriller or a mystery from time to time but most of the time I read fantasy/horror/science fiction.

The Harry Potter series was good enough for me to re-read. I can also also re-read the Horus Heresy series or the Locke & Key series.

You know, I never finished reading all of the Harry Potter books. I never read past the third in the series.

The third book is my favorite out of the whole series.
 
I really enjoy anything dramatic or dystopian. Books like the Hunger Games, Legend, Divergent, Looking for Alaska, Extrodinary Means, and TFIOS are just a few of my favorites. 😉
 
The Giver was a great book. I also really enjoyed George Orwell's 1984.

The book I can never get tired of reading would have to be The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho.
 
In no particular order:

- The Immortals series by Alyson Noel
- The Faerie Path series by Frewin Jones
- Beautiful Creatures series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
- Dangerous Creatures series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
- Across the Universe series by Beth Revis
- "The Body Electric" by Beth Revis
- The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
- "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer
- The House of Night series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
- The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
- Shannara series by Terry Brooks
- Landover series by Terry Brooks
- The Giver series by Lois Lowy
- The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins

and a million more. XD
 
Probably Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road or the Finnish writer Arto Paasilinna's A Charming Mass Suicide

You have some good picks Maroon Caludin!
Thanks. XD I read a lot. I can't even fit all my books in my room. I got two bookcases and 2 wall shelf's of em. (Mind you the bookcases don't just have books. Some shelfs are for displaying stuff), and two small ones in my closet, and I think it was 2 boxes packed away in my closet. XD Like I said I read a lot. And I have a bad habit of buying books when I have a bunch I haven't read. There's honestly more favorites, but I was too lazy to look em up. Those are my big ones.

Wow, that is quite a few books Cosmic! I do like Ender's Game also. 🙂
Read any of the sequels? Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind? Ender's Shadow is also pretty good, although I think Card went a little bit too far with the concept on that one. My suspension of disbelief kinda broke down a few times. 😛
 
I really do not read, I almost hate reading. However with that said, I enjoyed 39 Clues, I only read a few out however they are awesome, and for me, that's saying something. 😛
