    Default SK Re-Reads

    Hello CRs!
    While reading through my second attempt at The Talisman, I was curious as to which SK books you have read more than once.
    My small, but still growing list mostly consists of his early output (with the exception of On Writing) ~

    The Shining - 4 times (and I'm getting the itch to read this one again)
    'Salem's Lot - 4 times ("ditto")
    Night Shift - 4 times
    On Writing - 4 times
    Carrie - 3 times
    The Dead Zone - 2 times
    Danse Macabre - 2 times
    Cujo - 2 times
    Skeleton Crew - 2 times
    Different Seasons - 2 times
    Firestarter - 2 times
    Pet Semetary - 2 times
    The Stand - 2 times (once was the original, second time was the expanded edition)

    I've reread almost all of King's works at least once, and sometimes a lot more than that. I don't keep track, though. I do know that I went through two paperback editions of The Uncut Stand before I finally bought a hardcover for a reading copy. I've read 11/22/63 three times so far.

    For me, this question is better answered the other direction. With a list of the books I've only read once!

    Under the Dome
    Lisey's Story
    Blockade Billy
    Blaze
    11-22-63
    All of the non-fiction with the exception of Faithful, which I have not read. Or some short stories I've heard about, but never seen.

    All of the rest I've read at least twice. Some of them more times than that.

    I've re-read the Dark Tower series all the way through, but I usually don't re-read.

    Cell - 2 times
    Hearts in Atlantis - 2 times (Well it will be twice by tomorrow.)
    Nightmares & Dreamscapes -1.5 times (I read about half of the stories when I was younger so I have only read those twice.)

    Going to start on a re-read of the DT series tomorrow. Or tonight, we'll see what time it is when I finish Hearts in Atlantis. I'm excited to get back into even more re-reads now that I've finished most of his works.
