Harry Potter series for sure and the Goosebumps Choose your own adventure series for the nostalgia
I should put all of these in a list and read them. lol.
Harry Potter is my "read over and over" book/s. I have read the original series a lot. I would love to collect all the different versions of them - different countries and such.
Harry Potter series for sure and the Goosebumps Choose your own adventure series for the nostalgia
The Hunger Games. A really easy read with an interesting concept behind the story, it debates the type of stuff that I'm really into.
I really enjoy rereading the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett; on my second read right now, and I can definitely see myself revisiting these in the future. Not really for the plot or impeccable storytelling, but for the language - Pratchett has a way with words and grammar that intrigues me. The prose makes my brain hurt sometimes, but it's full of gems!
Some of my other favorites to revisit are the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce and pretty much all of Tolkien and Poe. I am also guilty of reading through all of Harry Potter at least four times. I don't know why I do it - it gets worse every time, but the nostalgia is overwhelming! I probably won't do it again... or will I

I love the Harry Potter books and it is probably the books I have reread the most. I actualy love the 5th book the most. I also love Trudie caravans books. She has a few series. Her books are a bit fantasy politics and very interesting to read.
The Redwall series is one that no matter how many times I read it, I always want to experience it over and over again. And every single reread of the books I seem to notice new things about the characters or how the world is described. They're easy reads as they're meant for children, of course, but that doesn't make them any less fun.
...Just don't read them while you're hungry. The food descriptions will have you digging through your cupboards within only a few sentences.

That's funny, I'm rereading them right now! I just finished Redwall, started with Mossflower last night. I enjoyed them immensely as a child, but I must say Redwall was a bit more boring than I remembered. Nothing much of impact happens for the first half, the stakes aren't really there if you catch my drift. Imo it starts getting tensive when I think I'll like Mossflower more, since it's more of a journey. iirc Mariel was more like that too.
Edit:
(spoilered cause them images be big)
These two (the second has a sequel which I count as well) are probably my most read books. I have read them both multiple times as a child, and I read them still every 1/2 years... I wonder if anyone here knows them? If you do I'd love to chat about it! The Edge Chronicles are my nr.1 fantasy world to go to, I wanted to be a sky pirate as a kid :x Really solid and interesting lore too. I wish someone would make a movie or series out of it (a GOOD director though!!! Can't stress that enough, I wouldn't want it to be botched like so many fantasy novel adaptations), especially if they make it slightly darker/more realistic. The Wild Road is imho the best animal character novel (besides Watership Down of course), and I have read a lot of them. Love the mystery in it. It has multiple layers, which is great for rereading it.
