Which book have you read more than any other?

View all responses

I’ve read 1984 3 times, the Sherlock Holmes stories maybe twice, To Kill a Mockingbird twice, Siddhartha 4 times, and I and Thou twice. I’ve also read The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet many times.

Most of the time, I read a book once unless it has a message I strongly relate to. I’ll read philosophy: Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Arthur Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and Representation, as well as books on religion, more than once. Of course, I’ll read Buddhist books by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and Thich Nhat Hanh and the Bible many times.
