Not including short story collections, poetry collections, anthologies, etc.

For me, I believe it’s Oroonoko by Aphra Behn because it was on the syllabus for three different classes that I took in college. Other than that, the most I’ve read a single book is twice, and that was Telegraph Avenue by Michael Chabon. I’ve read Dracula 1.5 times. Didn’t finish it the second time around.

    Wheel of Time. The entire series, though I usually quit around Knife of Dreams (book 11 of 15-ish). Near the end, the series takes a nosedive, quality-wise IMO, Jordan died and Sanderson finished it. Apparently I’m one of the few who hates the Sanderson books, so I’ve only read his books once.

    I’ve been reading the series for 25-ish years. I finish it, give it about 6 months, then find myself picking up the first book and reading it all again. I have the series on audiobook and listen to it on road trips as well.

      I need to finish the series . I read book 7 six years ago and still haven’t picked up book 8. Personally I felt the series peaked at book 2. The Great Hunt is one of my favorite novels ever and the other books just never lived up to it for me personally.
