I went through a Hemingway phase in high-school/college and read them all. I probably read A Farewell to Arms the most, but To Have and Have Not was a close second as far as number of times read.
I then went through Haruki Murakami phase and read all of his stuff a couple times with The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles being my favorite.
I then went on a Dave Eggers kick and read his all of stuff.
I'm now in a historical reading phase. Who knows what my next phase will be?
Edit: Forgot my Ender's Universe phase where I read all of those. I still go back and read Speaker for the Dead every once in a while.

I love to read, but I've never reread a book. However, I fully intend to reread Eric Flint's 1632 series. I started the series early, when I still had to wait for the next book. I read 4 or 5, but got distracted with other things along the way. Now that the series has extensive branches, one day I'll start from the beginning again. 1632 is probably my favorite book, or at least tied with Jurassic Park.

I read The Hunt for Red October at least once a year. I've probably read Ready Player One five times.
I read Skipping Christmas and In God We Trust All Others Pay Cash around the holidays every year.

I read Confederacy of Dunces every few years.
I don't recall reading anything else more than twice besides the Bible and Big Book.

Not even close to as hard to read as GoT. But its more of a fantasy novel than political like GoT.
