The old Man and the sea, I've lost count of how many times I have read this one. Oddly , I didn't enjoy it so much when I had to read it at school . Another great on is Three Men in a Boat. I think I have read it about ten times. Not much for reading angling books over and over again though.
Couldn’t agree more Trevor, great books.

I’m not a big reader of angling books but all the ones I have most enjoyed are anthologies or collections. They suit my preference for dipping in and out according to whim. So, I couldn’t even begin to calculate which I have read several times.
Three books I often revisit are also collections: “Letters from a Stoic” by Seneca, “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius and the collected essays of Michel de Montaigne.
As a book dipper, I usually have a few on the go and the current 2 are both slim volumes: “Liberalism” by Leonard Hobhouse and “The Politics of Obedience: a discourse on voluntary servitude” by Etienne de La Boetie (a great friend of Montaigne).
The only 2 books I have ever re-read from cover to cover, and that dozens of times, are “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” by J R R Tolkien. Books I first read at the age of about 12 at the suggestion of one of those inspirational teachers who transform children’s lives.
