    Will you quit trying to inject a note of class, Chandos? These are books I've re-read with pleasure (no special order):

    Philip K. Dick: A Scanner Darkly
    Ubik
    A Maze of Death
    James Crumley: Bordersnakes
    Azimov's Foundation Trilogy
    Mad Comics--the originals by Harvey Kurtzman
    Carl Barks' Donald Duck Stories
    Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe mysteries
    William Gibson: Count Zero
    Dashiell Hammett: Red Harvest
    Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (If it's worth re-reading,
    it's worth spelling.)
    Dickens: Bleak House & Dombey & Son
    James Agee's film reviews (Agee on Film, Vol. I)
    Garrett Mattingly: The Armada
    anything by Raymond Chandler
    Herodotus: Histories (keeping up with Chandos)

    That's not all, but I read a lot.

    My most re-read book is Jurassic Park, I've read it at least six times. Currently though, I'm loving my second time through Nuklear Age.

    I'm another that has read LotR upwards of 30 times. I noticed in my 20s that I had a tendancy to pull it out and read it again somewhere around the Christmas holidays.

    I've read and re-read the Amber series a number of times as well, even though I am of the opinion that for Zelazny, it was hack-work. Go figure. I guess that Zelazny at his worst is better than many another writer.

    In a completely different vein, I've re-read Winston Churchill's A History of the English Speaking Peoples quite a few times. Churchill was a truly amazing person.

    The Dragon Lance books are great, before I grew out of my knowledge seeking days as a pup I would read the DL books ALOT. I read all the older series at least four times.

    Steven Eriksons "Malazan book of the fallen" series is a good reread, so many great caracters and plots. You always find something new you didn't think of before.
