[Sai'nu]

William Shatner's Return Saga.

It's all written by Shatner and is basically about Captain Kirk's return from the grave after the events in Star Trek: Generations. Despite the over acting.... he spins a pretty darn good plot.

I am glad you mentioned Shatner as it reminded me my favorite series I have ever read is the Star Trek New Frontier series by Peter David.

So what's everyone's favorite Sci-fi or Fantasy books they read over and over again?

If "over and over again" is a requirement - then none. The only book I can think of that I've actually read twice is Frankenstein, cuz the first time was in 5th grade then again about a year or 2 ago. I'm always reading a book since I have a 40 min train commute, but I didn't start reading (other than school forced) till I aquired this commute 7 years ago. So I have plenty of catch-up to do.

Anyway, favorite sci-fi/fantasy:

Harry Potter
Tolkien - Rings Trilogy
Anything by Terry Pratchett

[Hashum]

1. The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander (Loved these as a kid)

3. Thrawn Series by Zahn

5. The Pit Dragon Trilogy by Jane Yolen (Loved these as a kid too)
