So there's hope for me yet? What a relief!

Deep dark confession of a librarian/English Masters student: I have to admit that I've never read Jane Eyre. I've never even seen a movie adaptation of it. You may now all commence making fun of me. That is all. :-)

I've read Prydain a ton of times, too. Wolves Chronicles is a new one for me, though--never heard of it. I'll have to check it out.

I don't think I've ever read even a single one of those series. Were they written in order? Is there a good one to start with?

Instead of asking what your favorite book is, I thought it would be interesting to ask what book you've read the most. I'll start it off. I haven't kept exact track of the number of times I've read everything, but I'd estimate I've read The Chronicles of Narnia about ten times, The Eye of the World at least seven or eight times and Ender's Game six or seven times. Some more might come to me eventually, but that's what I have for now. Of course, my days of rereading books ended back in middle school for the most part, but for a while, I would reread my favorites habitually.
