Witcher, I've read it at least once every two/three years for the last 18 years and it's still entertaining.

Considering I am currently rereading the Stormlight Archive - I’ll go with that.
Too many to count. Foundation trilogy, anything by Heinlein, Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke or various other classic sci fi writers, any Conan book or story, any Jeeves book or story, The Mote in God's Eye by Niven & Pournelle, Mary Lasswell's Mrs. Feeley books (pretty obscure), anything by HP Lovecraft...
Easier to say which books I WOULDN'T read again.
The Art of War in the Middle Ages. Just interminable.
There was another book, I can't recall the name of it unfortunately. It was about ethical non-monogamy but went into such blatantly STUPID territory that I classed it as "should not be set aside lightly, it should be thrown with great force."
One of the more stupid statements was about how gangbang porn is prevalent (multiple men, one woman), but the inverse doesn't exist. I was like "Fuck off, you aren't looking very hard then..."
Edit My wife assures me it was "Sex at Dawn".
The Malazan Book of the Fallen saga is so long that I tend to forget most of the plot of the earlier books by the time I finish.

The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990–1990
its short so suitible for a quick reread & even for people who dont like books
its like a childbook in the amount of text but more for adults
Synchronicity because I just put a book on hold at the library that I'm going to read again. It is called "Galileo's Dream" by Kim Stanley Robinson, and it's half historical fiction, half science fiction about: "what if future humans living on the Galilean moons of Jupiter discovered time travel and needed Galileo's help?"
Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. A comic book about comic books, cartoons, sequential art, and art in general.
Infinite Jest. Takes about like 2 years to read though lol.
