Which books do you read again, and again, and again...

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

I read LotR once every summer. Getting close to time to crack it out for this year.

I also read the Dune books(Dune through Chapterhouse) whenever I've got nothing else to read. I'm currently reading through Heretics of Dune.

 

[Wombat]

Every year in October I read Ray Bradbury's October Country.

I have read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland so often that I have lost count.

The writings of Chretien de Troyes -- I've read all of those at least five times each.

The Lord of the Rings -- five reads (The Hobbit gets four and The Silmarillion two).

Other big reads (though I can't tell you how often) include Treasure Island, A Wrinkle in Time, A Wizard of Earthsea, The Deptford Trilogy, War & Peace, and War of the Worlds.

I can at least say I am literate, but beyond that, matters become confusing

I've reread A Song of Ice and Fire, Lord of the Rings, and Wheel of Time each at least three times. I reread those books because of the massive amount of enjoyment I get out of them. Even though I know what happens, the Moria scene still creeps me out, the Red Wedding pisses me off, and Rand's fight with Rahvin gets me stoked.

 

[Dubya]

I have reread most of my books at least once, but I have reread G.R.R. Martin and Tolkien several times. However the book that I have reread the most is Mike Resnick's Santiago. I have read it no less than 70 times.

I usually go back and reread books that I really enjoyed at an earlier point in my life to see how I feel about them now. I find that what I get/enjoy in books has changed with time. The are some of the books that I've re-read multiple times are:

Lord of the Rings
Stephen Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
Zelazny's Amber Series
Jack Vance's works
Gene Wolf's Urth Series
Louise Cooper's Time Master Trilogy
Christopher Hinz's Liege Killer
Lovecraft's works
Julian May's Pliocene Exhile Saga
Orson Scott Card's Ender Series
David Brin's Uplift works
Damon Knight, Cordwainer Smith, Fedrick Pohl, Fredric Browne, etc short stories

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Just the classics: Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, some of Lovecraft's stuff (some I just can't bear to reread, "The Moon-Bog" being an example ), H.G. Wells (particularly The War of the Worlds and The Island of Dr. Moreau, my two favorites), and Arthur Machen's "The Great God Pan". The latter possibly not counting as it's more of a long short story than a book.

Dune for me. Also find myself re-reading The Gardens of the Moon by Stephen Erikson a lot too.

 

[thullgrim]

Frequent re-reads: War against the Chtorr (David Gerrold) Dune (whole series and individual parts)

Occassional re-reads: Honor Harrington (David Weber), Jordan (individual books some are ok other not-so-much), Song of Fire and Ice (when there is a new book).

I often whole series in anticipation of a new release. That way the story is fresh in my mind.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Lord of Light by Zelazny
Amber (Corwin stories) by Zelazny
Kane by Wagner
Bazil Brokentail and Relkin by Christopher Rowley
Pip and Flinx stuff by Alan Dean Foster
Books by David Gemmell
Books by Simon Green

 

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

I try not to make a habit of it - every time I reread a book, I feel very guilty. However, there's been a couple of "popcorn" books I've reread a couple of times. Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, Neuromancer by William Gibson, and The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester come to mind.

I reread graphic novels and comic collections a lot though. I've probably read the whole run of Preacher three times, Sandman a couple of times, and Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen more times than I care to count.
