    I've re-read Dolores Claiborne about 6 or 7 times, it's one of my favorites.

    ok, I can compromise... I can, for example, reread one King after each 10 new books... no, five... no... three... no...
    Go re-read, 11/22/63!! Maybe you'll appreciate it this time round!! LOL
    I would, if I expected to live forever.

    Well, I read The Shining roughly 35 years ago... and have read it at least 20-25 times over the years. Back when I was in high school, I read constantly. When I was a young adult, I had a job that required nearly two and a half hours a day on a bus. I read the entire time on the bus. If I do not have a new book to read, I simply grab something from my collection and re-read it. I have read many of my King books a TON of times. IT is my favorite... I think I have read it about a dozen times, maybe a few more than that. Eyes of The Dragon I've read many a time, as well as Pet Semetary. I suppose it helps that I am also a rather quick reader. Granted, the re-reading happened far more often when I was younger and had more time on my hands (and less things in my head to worry about... responsibilities and whatnot). I have been out of my King loop for a bit, unless you count the graphic novels. If I were to pick up a classic again, I think I would probably read something along the line of Salems Lot, or The Stand... neither of which I have read in the last twenty years or so.

    Speaking of 'The Stand'... I absolutely love the made for television adaptation. It was very entertaining.

    I have read The Stand - both versions, repeatedly. Due to drug use in youth and middle age, I do no hold facts as I should.

    But it is my clear favorite.

    At this point, it's probably Salem's Lot, The Shining, and Duma Key. I've also done Cell many a time as well.

    I re-read, Black House, quite often. It is one of my favorites and so freaking twisted it just calls to me. It also kind of confounds me in that it is obviously a TDT related book, but so little is referred to in the actual series. That has always stuck in my craw, so to speak.

    I've only recently(2012ish) started to read any King books, but so far have read The Stand(Complete & Uncut) 3 or 4 times. With It coming in next with probably 3 reads.

    Hmm...the first SK book I read was It, when I was about fourteen. One English teacher told me off for reading it in "free reading" English lessons, saying it was not suitable for my age group, my other, regular teacher (the first was covering the lesson) said that it was good that I was "widening my reading base", whatever that means...

    Anyway, that's the one I've read the most, with The Talisman a close second. Of the newer books, few of which I like as much as the older books, I have read 11/22/63 quite a few times for the length of time I've owned it.

    I've read IT probably 6-7 times, The Stand 4 times...Deadzone over a dozen times, Misery 4 times, Christine 4 times....books like Shining,Salems and 11/22/63 all 3 times. I think I've read most of his earlier titles 2-3 times, a couple of years apart. Some of his newer stuff I have no desire to read again. This may change in time. A few of them left me a little bit cold, and don't compare to the fever I got from the earlier stuff. Maybe nostalgia, but it's also a pretty high bar he set himself, I guess every book,can't be a classic. But yeah, I gladly re read old books several times over, no different than listening to a favourite song, or watching your favourite movie for the 50th time...a bit more time consuming, but very rewarding.

    Eyes of the Dragon - once for myself, once for my two daughters, and once each year for my freshmen, so with twenty years of teaching that makes it 22 readings. I just started it this week with my freshmen. They love it.

    Wow, your students are really lucky with you. : ) And can this book say something new to you after 22 readings?

    Roland would have understood.

    Love this read.

    The only one I've read more than once is The Shining. Read that one twice.

    I don't reread a lot of books (I have read some of Thomas Harris' books more than a few times and American Psycho and Blood Meridian each twice and Lolita three times (probably my favorite book)).

    This thread makes me want to reread some of King's (and the handful I haven't read yet). If I had to pick one to reread right now it would definitely be It.

    I've read IT a bunch of times, probably 5 or more.

    For the hell of it, books I should read again? From a Buick 8 and Insomnia. I remember really liking both of those books the first time I read them.
