I don't re-read. But the other posts in this thread conjure up many, many good memories of awesome books. I always feel there is another classic just on the horizon. So why re-read if you can expand. Time with 3 kids and work is limited. However, the depth of the understanding and impact books I love have made on others, they do tickle me to re-read..!

#35Don Quixote by Cervantes and the Tao Te ching. Former for its
buffoonery and commentary on human nature and the later for
its wisdom.

#36I keep coming back to "To Kill A Mockingbird" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". I'd say these are my two favourite books!

#37I've read HHGTTG over and over. But I'm guessing anyone who has read it once has always wanted to do that.

No. Too many books, not enough time.

#40For me it's probably A Wizard of Earthsea , delightfully short at about 160 pages. I'd say...8 times.
Also Ursula le Guin: I tend to re-read The Left Hand of Darkness every couple years (always in winter).
