I've read Anthem a few times.

My father read it to me when I was young, maybe 5 or 6.
I read it in middle school for nostalgia.
I read it in college for nostalgia.

Still one of my favorites.

I have read all of my dictionaries (Oxford, Cambridge, etc.) each volume

I don't remember reading a book

>46 pages
MIght give it a go. Funny because Atlas Shrugged has 1088 pages.

Animal Farm
read it once in 6th grade to try and look smart
read it again in 8th grade because it was required
and read it again in 12th grade because the school shifted around the requirements so we had to read it again

it's an overrated book, i hate it

it's such a hilariously bad book, it's not even worth it

odyssey

Hustler September 2017 issue
Holy Quran
Mein Kampf
The sisterhood of the travelling pants

It was nice. Helped me accept criticism and insults as a child, fostering independence.

How is it bad?

Palahniuk's Rant and Heller's Catch-22
Both funny books, I just can't read more than 20 pages per day if I can't smile as an autistic child while in the subway

"Das Kapital" and "Deutschland schafft sich ab", not because its good, but because its written so bad with a shitload of data.

The Old Man and the Sea
The Road
Blood Meridian
Sea of Glory
Moby Dick
Where the Red Fern Grows
Beloved
The English Patient

I have read each of these 2+ times

The Book of Marvels (M. Polo)
Buccaneers of America (A. Oexmelin)
Jane Eyre (C. Brontë)

>The Old Man and the Sea
horrible

my father always tells me to read that book and my father is an apologetic, un-charismatic, boring man, so I always throw to the trash his advice on what to do.
Is it really that bad?

I always liked it and it's very short so it's not a big investment if time or anything.

The Alchemist

>Is it really that bad?
yes. it's about some old guy who's out at sea fishing and he hooks some big fish. but it's too big to reel up so he has to go back to shore with the fish still hooked. but for some reason he's stuck out at sea with the fish and the whole book just talks about him sitting there on the boat with the fish on his line. i think he eventually makes it back to shore but the fish is rotten and dead by then. it is an extremely boring book.

>it is an extremely boring book.
I had my suspicions on that

Ayn Rand tried to be d e e p and p r o f o u n d, but only managed to show just how fucking naive and dogmatic she was, once again.

it's a comically heavy-handed attempt at criticizing progressive values and socialism. It's so thinly veiled and conspicuous that I almost thought it was satire when I first read it. But no she was dead fucking serious. The setting is completely contrived and illogical, the motives of the protagonist are contrived and illogical, the reactions of the society are again, contrived and illogical. And then the douche crowns himself God and knocks up some random bimbo.
She might as well've written "POLITICAL CORRECT BAD SOCIALISM BAD IM SMART DUM DUM LIBERELS DUM>:(((((" in bold and you'd have the same thing as Anthem.

It's Rand's hilariously poor attempt at a self-inserting, self-aggrandizing fantasy attempt of a "fuck you" to liberalism that completely falls flat at trying to convey its barefaced, insubstantial message.

It's the literary equivalent of a Fine Gentlemen who Appreciates the Trilby Good Sir, not the Fedora and Partakes In the Height of Literature such as Breitbart Dot Com and Russian News Dot Com (tips trilby)

i reread harry potter every other year
a lot of short stories
some unrelevant japanese novels
a lot of Molière plays
Les malheurs de Sophie, a french classic of children's litterature
i don't think i've reread a lot of novels now that i think of it. Definitely Lolita, but can't think of any other ..

oh and the bible i guess, although it's more like picking random passages

The Man Who Planted Trees

> No Tintin
For shame

You guys are retarded. The point of the book is not the story but to challenge the idea that the climax of the story has to happen closer to the end of the book. The old man catching the fish is the climax that happens at the beginning and the rest of the book is the post-climax denouement. That's why you read it in high school, not because it's enjoyable or even good. It's just a pivotal moment in literary history, like Shakespeare's works or The Odyssey

The CaCa and the Dookie, by Shlomo Cashbergstein

While we're on the subject I would recommend everyone watch this animated version of the story. It's like a watercolour painting brought to life. Honestly will be the best 20 mins you spend today

the entire harry potter series about 3 times

"On the Jews and their Lies" by martin Luther

Turner diaries

Devils Guard.
only 2 times tho and several chapters a third time

Of all the books I had to read for school, the only ones I ever reread where 'A tale of 2 cities' and 'The Martian Chronicles' (original edition).

I very rarely don't reread a book unless I really didn't like it (e.g. Atlas Shrugged)

I reread lots of books. I've read through ASOIAF 3 times. My favorite Agatha Christie novel, Nemesis, 5 times at least. As a child I had the Sítio do Picacau Amarelo books so I don't even remember how much I read those. Several of Sherlock Holmes' novels and story collections.

He's right though, it's a terrible work. Not only that, it's so poorly written and the """philosophy""" it attempts to explore isn't even explored properly. The exploration is flawed from the get-go, hence why no one who has anything relevant to say even thinks of it, it has no substance. It's so elaborate and bad. Why would anyone read such poorly-written trash. She should have written an essay that directly reveals her points. But then everyone would realised how flawed and nonexistent they are.

Read Saxon Chronicles like 5 times already. Also some old book on Nero a couple of times. Wanna get the epics to go bonkers with them.

Flowers for Algernon reminds me of my gradual descent into depression

The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy about 4 or 5 times
I probably read harry potter 3 or 4 times when I was a kid
pic related is best book even though i've only read it twice
