I dislike literary fiction and avoid depressing books (not only for rereading, I prefer not to read them at all).
For real world problems I read the news or web articles. I don't want to read about them in books.
Currently I'm not rereading anything, though. The most recent reread was the Murderbot series by Martha Wells - when the latest book came out, I reread the whole series.

Well said, I'm pretty much the same. My most reread books are probably LOTR, War and Peace, and Watership Down. I've read each at least 3 times. Several I've read 2 times.
It's like movies. There are some movies I'll watch multiple times, others one and done.
