All the novels of Dostoyevsky, Hugo, Gaddis, Tolstoy, half of Cormac McCarthy's (so far), The Lord of the Rings (as a teen) multiple times, Mieville's Perdido Street Station, and many other single works by various authors.
Why? The Lord of the Rings because I was an obsessed teen, most of the others because they are too good to read just once, the Gaddis, especially The Recognitions, because they can't be absorbed and appreciated with a single reading.
Read Cormacs The Road twice and plan on many more, Great Gatsby 3+
Some Tolkien works, The little prince, a large part of Crime and Punishment. I remember these.
I don't necessarily re-read books entirely but two books that I always return to like certain passages are Hamlet and Lollita
Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf
Oh and iv re read Jude the Obscure because I wanted to work on it in my final year of Uni as well as having wrote on it in first year. The other two I mentioned (Hamlet and Lolita) I return to because I love them and there's always more to appreciate
