I have just started The Boleyn Inheiritance by Phillipa Gregory, and WOW it is SO good!!

However, it really makes me want to go back and read the other books again!!

But I have so many books in my TBR pile that I know I won't have time to actually read the same book twice.

I'm on my second copy of Watership Down. I've probably read it 12-14 times. I've also read A Little Princess about 20x by the time I was 16.

Oh yes, if it's a favorite of mine i will read it more than once. I usually do this when i have been going thru a bad book phase.You know what i am talking about, when you pick a book that sounds good in the summary on the back cover and then you can't get into it or it's not as good as you would have hoped it to be. If i have a few books in a row like that then i need something i know i'm going to love, so i grab an old favorite and reread it.

I really need to read Watership Down!

I've re-read the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit several times - I try to every 4 years and I think I'm about due again! Their Eyes are Watching God. I know there are more but I can't think right now. I should go to bed.

I will read and re-read books I love. At the library, I'm bad about checking out the same book two or three times because I forgot that I had already read it before (usually they're the one I like anyway).
