Books I've read and reread include

The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit

To Kill a Mockingbird

Moby Dick

Huckleberry Finn

several collections of stories by Roald Dahl (simply one of the best and funniest writers to come along ever)

A Sand County Almanac

Babbitt

Mama Makes Up Her Mind, essays by Bailey White that first appeared on radio's All Things Considered

Go Down, Moses

Cannery Row, Sweet Thursday and several others, including the two collections of Steinbeck's amazing short stories

On The Road

Many others, when I come to think about it, that I reread, at least parts of the books, every so often. And when I was a child I remember rereading Caddie Woodlawn and The Secret Garden several times.

An eminent book reviewer one time pooh-poohed the desire of many people to reread the same story. He/she (can't remember who it was now - so memorable was their work!) felt that once was enough and then you should move on. I disagree. Humans evolved as storytellers and privileged storytellers in all cultures before the written word. There are some stories we have heard many times and we love them each time - they tell us who we are, or teach us things about ourselves and others. Same with the written word (and film).
