Books You Can't Stop Reading

I should probably keep my fingers off the keys, but I read 
romance novels (mostly) over and over. When I need to quiet my 
mind, or have a lot to do and no time to read (but want to read 
anyway), when I can't afford to stay up til 5 a.m. to find out what's 
going to happen to a hero (I'm a Ludlum/Clancy fan), but feel the 
urge to read - I read romance novels.Typicallly anything by my 
favorite romance authors is fair game for the re-read, but 
especially:
"Ashes in the Wind" by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss (Hello, Penny, 
meet "the other kind" of dark person - who likes historical 
romance.). I was ready to name my child after the heroine, 
Alaina, because I liked her so much - but I didn't think he'd 
appreciate it (so he's named after an Andrew Greeley male 
instead <g>). Actually, every Woodiwiss I've read, I've read more 
than once.
Lots of Jayne Anne Krentz.
Andrew Greeley novels - though he' s not specifically a romance 
writer, he's a favorite, and I usually read him again (and again). I 
love "Angel Fire", "Angel Light", and "The Final Planet" - to name 
a few I've re-read.

After recent events, I actually read "Debt of Honor" and "Executive 
Orders" again, though I usually don't read intrigue again.

Somebody mentioned Ender - I love that "kid". I haven't read 
them again (yet), but thanks for reminding me that they're on my 
bookshelf. <g>
