What are some books you have read more than once?

I generally do not re-read books as there are so many new books I want to read, I can’t justify spending time reading something I’ve already read. However, there have been a few exceptions. I re-read two books I read in high school, Dubliners by James Joyce and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, because while I remember liking them both at the time (Dubliners is the book that really changed my mind about literature), I didn’t give them my full attention (I was a senior with other things on my mind) and they deserved to be re-read with my more developed adult mind.

Now I’m also considering re-reading Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore and John Fowles’ The Magus, the latter another book that represents a turning point in my reading journey. :)
