Books I re-read: The Lord of the Rings, the Sherlock Holmes original canon and the Bible. The first for the journey, the second for the comfort of old friends and the third for instruction.
There are other stories I've re-read and will probably visit again someday: Asimov's Foundation series, Asimov's Robot stories and novels, all of Heinlein.
But the first three are special.
It's said you can never go home again, but if books are your home, you can visit again and again.
