I picked up Nausea from my bookshelf yesterday and this must be the 10th time (at least) that I've reread it since first picking it up in 1972. Confederacy of Dunces and Crash are two others I've reread numerous times. What are your favorite rereads?

I've read "Where the Red Fern Grows" 5 or 6 times.

I've read "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy 6 or 7 times.

I can't make myself reread fiction, and even for nonfiction I will only reread certain select chapters or passages. There is just such a huge queue of important books that I feel that I need to read--and that I never have the time to do as it is--and rereading old stuff would only make the backlog even worse.

Types of nonfiction stuff that I will go back and reread certain portions of:

Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces

Norman Cantor's The Civilization of The Middle Ages

F.J. Sheed's Theology and Sanity

The Portable Carl Jung

Dante's Comedy
Milton, Paradise Lost
Shakespeare, the lot
Moby Dick
Joyce

Shorter poems and philosophy are the things I reread most often though.
