    Crime and Punishment
    Notes from the Underground
    All the Hitchhiker's Guide books
    Lolita
    Pretty much anything Hemingway
    Anything Vonnegut (I've just finished reading all of his books and now I'm terribly sad for there is no Vonnegut left for me :()
    The Grapes of Wrath
    Junky

    Off the top of my head. I own all of them too... but I can't allow myself to start re-reading them because there are so many books that I haven't read still out there.

    It's an amazing book.

    The Tao of Pooh (and Teh of Piglet) are also wonderful books. I'm glad that you mentioned it, I haven't thought of it in a while.

    Visible Amazement by Gale Zoe Garnett.

    And I wouldn't mind reading the Harry Potter series again.

    i rarely read books more than once. and i can't think of one that is so amazing that i would want to spend money to erase it and experience it again.

    I enjoy books equally each time I read them

    so, no, it would be silly.

    Either I haven't read enough good books or everyone that said yes is a freak. I vote latter.

    i don`t have such miracles things as large sums of money, but i have always been in love with Ann Rice`s Vampire Chronicles. Other books i have read more than once and i would love to read them many times over again are "Under the yoke", "Nemili Nedragi"

    I don't think so. When I am really fond of a book having read it already doesn't really alter my joy of re-reading.. well there isn't really any suspense left, but.. I wouldn't pay large sums of money to forget the story.. cause knowing the story is a treasure.

    I have a few that I reread...
    The Handmaid's Tale
    The Bad Place
    To Kill a Mockingbird
    The Catcher in the Rye

    Rereading a book I like is comfort food for the brain...

    I re-read all my books, that's why I buy them.. or else.. I would just borrow them, end-of-story.
