Wow, a lot of good reading ideas on this thread, and I'm seeing a lot of personal favourites being mentioned as well! Books I've re-read the most would be:
Fifth Business (Robertson Davies). Although I prefer his "The Rebel Angels", I've read Fifth Business more times.
Candide (Voltaire) - For some reason I had to re-read it in several french lit classes!
His Dark Materials (Philip Pullman). Lent it out to a cousin who never returned it, and still can't get over it! I haven't picked up a new copy because I can't seem to find an edition with the same cover as my old one, which I really liked. (It came in a snazzy gold box set)
1984 (Orwell) Another one of those school reads I really liked and re-read several times.
Spring Snow (Yukio Mishima). I used to re-read it once a year.
Honourable mentions should be given to The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Middlesex, anything by Haruki Murakami....
