Who said they had to be pretentious? There ARE books in existence where you can get something different out of it every time you read it. And maybe not even that, but you can enjoy it every time you read it. Well, that happens for me anyway. Lord of the Rings specifically comes to mind.
1) The Lord of the Rings (need I say more?)
2) The Never Ending Story (this story is just fantastical perfection)
3) Kingdom Come (Beautiful art and a timely story)
4) Watchmen (pure genius)
5) The Dark Knight Returns (Gotta love Miller's Batman)
6) The Holy Bible (any version I reckon)
7) The Chronicles of Narnia (it does exist in one volume!)
8) The Hobbit (i guess i needed to pick this one since LOTR is up there)
9) The Silmarillion (such a beautiful book...can you see a pattern yet?)
10) The Once and Future King by T.H. White
--I realize this post is really a "top ten favorite" books...and for me it was neary impossible to do so; but I did my best.
