The vast majority of Robert Heinlein's works.

The Ring trilogy by Tolkein.

Some of the less fun classics I have read more than once, figure I'll reread one of; Brave new World, 1984, Farenheit 451 and Animal Farm every couple of years. But I don't reread them over and over. Too large a dose of those gets depressing.

After reading another thread here I remembered one more.

The War Prayer by Mark Twain,

It is easily found online as it is now public domain. Easy to read, only a couple of pages long. When I gbouth it as a traditional book teh cover blurb talling about the books history waws almost as long as the story. I'll jsut say that blurb ended with Twain being asked if he would publish hte story. Twain replied somethgin like 'In this I have told the whole truth, that is something no living man should do, it may be published when I am dead.'

But people should be careful about listening to me, I am a Lunatic and a savage. (But my hair is not yet white and I am definately not deathly pale).

The Ring trilogy by Tolkein.
I like rereading that one too, but I think I've reread parts of it more times than rereading the whole thing. I probably have some parts memorized. :)

I've read and reread a lot of books by Mark Twain, but I've never read War Prayer, maybe I'll read it. :) It's always nice when books are in public domain.

I'll pull out a favorite book every year or so and reread it.

Some I've reread are anything by C. S. Lewis, especially The Screwtape Letters and the Narnia series.

To Kill a Mockingbird
A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
In His Steps
The Hiding Place
Through Gates of Splendor
Red Adam's Lady by Grace Ingram
The Hawk and the Dove by Penelope Wilcock
The Lost Princess by George MacDonald

OK, maybe I'd better stop now! :)
