I've been planning a re-read of GRRM soon, in the hopes that in the meantime the fifth book's release will be announced. My husband is reading the series for the first time and has been sleep deprived lately, as he can't put the books down.

Used to be:
Ender's Game (10+ times, I'm sure)
Lord of the Rings (10 times, I think)
Tunnel in the Sky (Heinlein) (no clue how many times)

Books I have re-read more than once (even when I had other options available):
Chronicles of Thomas Covenant
Atlas Shrugged
Speaker for the Dead
The Puppet Masters
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Books I read over and over as a teenager because we had so few books:
Fountains of Paradise (Clarke)
Citizen of the Galaxy
Friday (Heilein)
Tom Sawyer
Don Quixote, USA (I wish I could find a copy of that one again)
Pebble in the Sky

I haven't done much rereading the last 5-10 years.

I've re-read all of Jane Austen several times.

I have re-read Straight Man by Richard Russo three or four times, but it's still not out in e-version.

When a book in a series I like comes out, I'll re-read the others to refresh my memory (not as young as I used to be, lol).

I have over 700 books on my Kindle and I'm still re-reading stuff, lol.

Right now, Portal by Imogen Rose.

I think I'm going to re-read the Frank Tuttle books soon because I find them hysterically funny. And I don't even like fantasy

Never read a Frank Herbert after that.

YMMV, of course.
Same here. First was great. Couldn't get very far into the second one.

I've reread Wind in the Wyllows every two or three years for as long as I can remember (granted, at my age, that's not very long).

Brautigan is another author I read in my youth (in French) and have been vaguely meaning to read again some day. I only read a few short stories but I loved them.

Would have to be The Silmarillion which I have always thought of as Tolkiens lifes work, and LOTR and The Hobbit as playing for a little while in that body of work he created.

And since adulthood The Karamazov Brothers as I love the energy and can enjoy it in so many different ways.

For me it's the Stephen Donaldson Covenant books, and of them I guess White Gold Wielder would be the one I love best. But really - any of them. I re-read them at least once a year and wouldn't want to be without them.
