I've read LotR, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, 1984, Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Wuthering Heights, and Hitchhiker more than once. I've reread 'Half Blood Prince' from the HP series, to get me ready for the Deathly Hallows, and it stood up quite well I thought.

I can re-read a few authors any number of times: Jane Austen, Dashiell Hammett, Douglas Adams, HP Lovecraft. They just never seem to get old - four quite different writers, but they just don't irritate me at all. I read them when I'm bored with everything else.
