    What Hacker News says

    1. ikeserbestianSep 2022
      J. R. R. Tolkien's Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings,

      Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe,

      Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island,

      Most of the Jules Verne's books,

      The Iliad and The Odyssey from Homer,

      The Godfather from Mario Puzo,

      Hermit in Paris, Under the Jaguar Sun, The Complete Cosmicomics from Italo Calvino,

      The Name of the Rose from Umberto Eco,

      In the World from Maxim Gorky,

      ...

      First works coming to mind but there should be more... Also I probably re-read many times basic printed materials related Abrahamic religions like Torah, Quran and Bible.

      Re-reading is inevitable if you love books.

      For those who don't get it, it's a reference to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island which features a parrot that repeats "Pieces of Eight" (also known as a bit).
