I've been recently thinking that this is the *hallmark* -- for me at least -- of a truly good book: one that you can read more than once. Even though you know what will happen, it's still a genuine pleasure to read it again. Even more than once.
An example for me would be Justin Cronin's "The Passage." I've just started reading it for the third time (ETA: it might actually be the fourth time, I can't remember), and I still love it. I think it's the characters. Their motivations, their dilemmas, how they face them, their flaws, their strengths, that continue to intrigue me, and to make me think.
I would love to know what other AWers' favorite re-reads are, how many times you've re-read them, and why?
