It is a very rare book that holds me that close. The closest I can think of is The Hobbit. I'm not sure, but I think it is at the top of my most times reread list. The funny thing is that only 2 of the rereads were to prepare me for rereading TLOTR.
Granted, there are other stories that I like, but I never really reread them more than once.

The question being the magic number. I decided to track my books via Goodreads so that I wouldn't have to remember to write everything down, but there isn't really a way to separate short stories from full novels; they all get an equal count.
