I coulda sworn I posted in here already... wierd...
Star Wars: X-Wing Series sometimes gets re-read
New Jedi Order: Traitor was my favorite book for some time, I read it every so often.
Zahn's Conquerors trilogy - very exciting, love the Copperhead concept
Goodkind's Sword of Truth - though this sounds like the Wheel of Time series - lots of filler in books 4-8 or so, it is getting very boring, specially with the main character pulling new powers out of his hat everytime something turns bad. I still don't mind reading it though, I still love the main character
Song of Ice and Fire - pretty intriguing novels, fun to read. I love the Stark House

I'll reread anything that gives me enjoyment.
When I was a child, I reread "A Wrinkle in Time" and "Little Women" a lot.
As an adult, I love to re-read the LOTR trilogy & "The Silmarillion", any & all Jane Austen novels, John LeCarre's novels - especially his "Smiley's People" trilogy, "Mrs. Mike", Agatha Christie mysteries, and the books I have about Orthodoxy.
Oops . . . add C.S. Lewis' books to that list.

When I was younger, I read Braveheart twice a year, for a total of ten readings. Now I can't read it anymore, because I've memorized it (practically 
)!

okay i (as per usual!) am compelled to jump on the wheel of time bandwagon. As a devoted fan I never understand the complaints about the series. It is complex, and I like that. As for people complaining that Winter's Heart had no substance, do a little research and you'll find out it isn't really complete, because Jordan basically ran out of room/ deadlines... so if you read WH and Crossroads of twighlight right after you won't be disapointed! Also.. in the past 6 mo. I have read 8 years of Terry Goodkind's writing and find the sword of truth series even more fulfilling than wot, probably because goodkinds sublime truths resonate within me, and his focus on characters... i give it a full 5 stars... okay.. off the box i suppose..
i love rereading a very special book to me called "Winter of Fire" by Sherryl Jordan
From Publishers Weekly
In a grim future world where the sun has vanished from the sky, people glean what warmth and light they can from the firestones mined by an untouchable caste known as the Quelled. Countless taboos are shattered when Elsha, an idealistic and rebellious Quelled girl, is chosen to be handmaid to the Firelord--the man revered by those calling themselves the Chosen. Traveling in the privileged class, Elsha encounters ugly, unthinking prejudice; she also meets a few relatively enlightened Chosen men, who cannot help falling in love with the feisty maid. Spurred on by a hatred of injustice, Elsha battles against sexism, improves life for the Quelled, and even (it seems) hastens the return of the sun to her world. Because there is never any real doubt that Elsha will inherit the Firelord's mantle, there are moments--especially as the harsh spectacle of life in the mines recedes--when her various victories grow a bit predictable. But this is a minor quibble; taken as a whole, the stalwart heroine's visionary struggles are nothing short of inspiring. With a spare and effective style, Jordan brings Elsha's chilly world into sharp focus with a minimum of description. Elsha's exploits will appeal to fans of Robin McKinley's The Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown. Ages 12-up.

Reread books...ok in no particular order other than what I came up with first
Island of the Blue Dolphins, Watership Down, Little House books, Prydain Series-Alexander, Chronicles of Narnia, Eddings, Song of Ice and Fire, Tale of Two Cities, Girl of the Limberlost, Dune, Agatha Christie mysteries, some Stephen King and Harry Potter series. Books are like old friends, it's always fun to revisit them.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini! The first book of the Inheritence Trilogy, since the second one hasn't come out yet... *pouts* I think I've read that book about 6 times in one month, just because I had nothing better to do. I know that book front and back now.

Kurt Vonnegut- "Slaughterhouse-Five"
Stephen Chbosky- "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"
C.S. Lewis- "Mere Christianity"
George Orwell- "Nineteen Eighty-Four"
