One of the few books I've ever re-read more than once was Neal Stephenson's Anathem.
I've read it four or five times now. There is always something new to find in it.
- CocaKoala 12y agoA lot of Neal Stephenson's work holds up to rereadings. I've gone through the Baroque Cycle + Cryptonomicon maybe three times now, and I guess I'm due for a fourth soon.
- rkroondotnet 12y agoThe Baroque Cycle is an undertaking, since my first read of it I have moved on to the audio books, subway listening being easier than subway reading. Cryptonomicon I am at about 15 reads (including audio book listens a few more), and maybe a handful for Snow Crash, Anathem and Reamde. My book of choice for re-reading is Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, by Jeffrey Archer. I must be at 50 re-reads of that now, and I own two first editions. Strange what catches your mind!
- vitamen 12y agoI read Snow Crash once a year (usually I listen to the audiobook these days) but I'm thinking of switching up to the Baroque Cycle. I'm glad there's finally an unabridged Cryptonomicon audiobook - for a long time there was not.
