what books do you love so much you read them more than once?

i rarely reread books, but am curious about what books others reread.

trying to figure out what to request next from the library.

i just reread Zadie Smith's On Beauty for the 3rd time -- I really love that book. ANd Jhumpa Lahiri's stories. ANd Sara Suleri's meatless days.. man, that's the one I reread the most.

oh oh, i've just been rereading (listening actually, book-on-cd) jhumpa lahiri's stories (interpreter of maladies) and i like them much more than i remembered. i also recently read an essay by sara suleri on lahore and was like "oh my gosh, this woman can write! i must read meatless days". never read zadie smith though... putting it on my hold list. thanks! :)
