Solitary Role Playing
I've got out of the habit of reading as much in the last few years (I more often buy books on Audilble now) but one series I found very re-readable are Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan novels. There are very few I haven't read at least a couple of times, and I've re-read Memory, Komarr and A Civil Campaign several times.

Aside from that, I'll often re-read (or re-listen) a series when the next novel is due to come out. I did that recently with the Dresden Files series, and before that the Rivers of London series.
Vorkosigan is great! When I'm stuck in a waiting room it's the first books I think of to pass time enjoyably. Have your read the one with his cousin, Captain Ivan Vorpatril, as the lead? It's really funny.

Indeed I have, it was most enjoyable. I also liked her book about Cordelia Naismith-Vorkosigan's new romance.

They did feel a little low-stakes, though. It's something I've noticed in a few long-running series over the years - at some point, it seems like the author can no longer bear to seriously hurt their characters.

Anne McCaffrey's Perm novels were the same way - after The White Dragon, the stakes seem to drop off rapidly.
