Ah yes, the Dragons of Pern stories by Anne McCaffrey. I've read every one of them several times. Actually I first was introduced to them on my iPod; then I bought them all, and now have them on my PRS700.
Guess my most re-read is a toss up. I have all of James Mitchner books (hardbound) which I've re-read and re-read. Right up there is the Azimov Foundation trilogy, also re-read umpteen times.
I was reading the Foundation series on vacation in Puerto Vallarta a few years ago and someone came up to me and asked what I was reading, so I told him. I also said that this was probably the 4th or 5th time I'd read them. He couldn't understand how I could re-read a book, that I already knew the plot, and that the butler didn't always do it. With me, there's usually a few years between readings so I don't always remember exactly what's happening.
I remember watching the movie Apocalypse Now, and every time I saw the movie (the first time I saw it, I was stationed in VietNam) I saw different things, and I came to different conclusions.
The same thing with good books.
