Singling out just 11 books or series from 2.5-3k volumes read is pretty much impossible, but here are some of the ones I've re-read the most:
The Lord of the Rings - Tolkien
The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco
The Three Musketeers (all nine books) - Alexandre Dumas
The Lions of Al-Rassan - Guy Gavriel Kay
A Song for Arbonne - Guy Gavriel Kay
Les Misérables - Victor Hugo
Heliconia Trilogy - Brian Aldiss
The Night's Dawn Trilogy - Peter F. Hamilton
1984 - George Orwell
Any of two dozen books by... - Jules Verne
One Thousand and One Nights (in Richard Burton's translation, which remains superior till this day) - anon/folk tales
The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Lyev Tolstoy
The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Germinal - Emile Zola
The Red and the Black: A Chronicle of the 19th Century - Stendhal ( Marie-Henri Beyle)
Diary of Samuel Pepys - Samuel Pepys
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift
David Copperfield - Charles Dickens
Ok, that would seem to be 18, not 11. Could as easily have been 180 though.
