Which book have you re-read the most?
Mine would be Nineteen Eighty-Four. I'm guessing I've read it about 12 times. At one point I used to read it every year or so.
I've always liked the feeling I get re-reading a favourite book.

Good Omens is the only book I've gone back and read multiple times.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Which book have you re-read the most?
I haven't read any book 12 times, but Crime and Punishment I read 5 times (and there were two translations). Others I've read a few times: On the Road, Rum Diary, Cat's Cradle, The Picture of Dorian Grey and Fight Club

Wamphyri by Brian Lumley. It's basically Jason Bourne with vampires and wormholes. What's not to love?!!
Actually, I might have read the Bourne Identity probably as much as that.
Hang on, The Magician by Raymond E Feist. LOVE that book.

Re: Which book have you re-read the most?
Four or 5 would be my tops and then only re-reading series to catch up to the latest. ( Malazan Book ok of the Fallen series - that's a chore as each novel is 900 pgs )
http://malazan.wikia.com/wiki/Malazan_B ... the_Fallen
Perhaps Pillars of the Earth as a single book...3 times each about a decade apart or more. Enjoyed it every time.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu (James Clavell's translation).

Re: Which book have you re-read the most?
I've read The Baroque Cycle a good few times. Like Pappa I've had many read-throughs of Nineteen Eighty-Four, but the book I have read most is Finnegans' Wake. (Yes Pappa the apostrophe is in the correct place.)

Ernest Hemingway - Finca Vigia collection probably 3 or 4 times.
Notes from the Underground - 3 or 4 times
The Gambler - 2 or 3 times
Crime and Punishment - 3 or 4 times
Dostoyevsky is boss - if you don't mind his religious overtones (they can be interpreted variously).

Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread right away...
