As a rule, I usually don't reread books that I've already finished.
The only exceptions are the books by the following authors:
Alex Garland
Harlan Ellison
Chuck Palahniuk
J.R.R. Tolkien
Neil Gaiman

Books I can, or have read repeatedly.
Siddharta
Catcher in the Rye (currently re-reading again)
The Stranger
A Clockwork Orange
The Outsiders
I'm sure there's a few I forgot. I also have a bad habit of not finishing books. I'll get 3/4 of the way through, and lose interest or get interrupted and never finish. Last book I was almost finished with was "Skinny Legs And All" by Tom Robbins. I was really enjoying it too. I'll get back to it eventually.

<u>Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance</u> is definitely a rereader. And <u>A Prayer for Owen Meany</u>. Weird; they both make me cry.
EDIT: but in a manly way.

That's about it...
I have this "narrow" view about reading books. I consider my time precious and I do not want to use much of it with reading about what somebody else was interested in and wrote about...
I get more pleasure from Music and just about have enough time for that...
I read "For Whom The Bell Tolls, and The Grapes Of Wrath" and enjoyed them very much, but have not read one since
Posts are cool, quick and interesting...
