These aren't the only books, but these are the ones reread most recently.
They're not just books, either. They're the reason why, I am the way I am, today.

The Mortal Instruments, Harry Potter, Jane Eyre, The Zombie Survival Guide.

Basically, I like fantasy and action books; Jane Eyre is a good read regardless of my preferences.

Just about any book by Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett
Good Omens in particular, by Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, That book I can read over and over and over. The writing is enchanting and hysterical. Nothing is funnier than the Apocalypse when the Anti-Christ is misplaced.
And out of nowhere I wanted to re-read American Gods by Gaiman. It reads like a mini-series. It has horror, suspense, fantasy, mystery, action, and I think that there might have been some love, but I don't remember because the horror and action had me hooked.

Percy Jackson Series
The Frog Princess
Hush Hush

Honestly I've read the Golden Compass (or 'His Dark Materials') series by Phillip Pullman like three times. I really rarely re-read books, but these three are an exception. I don't know, they're just so freaking good. Love 'em.

The Rising by Brian Keene and the two after, Dead City and Dead Sea, as well as The Conquer Worms. His newest just arent as potent as the first three.

Gosh, there's so many...
I'm a sucker for the classics, like "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde, "Wuthering Heights", "Jane Eyre", pretty much anything by Jane Austen etc.

I also really like revisiting the books I loved from my childhood, like "The Squirrel, The Hare and The Little Grey Rabbit", the works of Beatrix Potter and Enid Blyton, particularly "The Wishing Chair" and "The Faraway Tree", and various beloved fairytales.

Harry Potter, Tamora Pierce Tortall books, Harry Potter, Gemma Doyle Trilogy, Harry Potter, the Twilight saga and did I mention Harry Potter?
Although I have to admit at having a love/hate relationship with Twilight. It's addictive, but I actually like some of Meyer's other work better.
This list of course doesn't include any of the my favorite manga, which is much longer.
:feesh:(just because I've always wanted to use the icon... OK I'm good now)

The books I keep finding myself going back to would be in no particular order

Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs- werewolves in Montana and the tri-state area :) very witty and fast read because it's so well written.

Mercedes Lackey- in general I love her fantasy stuff.

Memory & Dream by Charles de Lint- I love the creepy factor about the painting coming to life.

Beka Cooper series by Tamora Pierce- It explains the heritage of George the king of thieves also very amusing.

And if you hadn't noticed a pattern I like to read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi.

I cannot remember if I posted here already or not, but for me, it's gotta be "A Girl Named Disaster" by Nancy Farmer.
I've reread it well over three times, and I STILL love it each and every time through.
It's a great read.

Under the Wheel (Unterm Rad auf deutsch) by Herman Hesse. The novel also goes by the name The Prodigy under some publishers.

I could relate to this book in so many ways. I read it over and over again, and it's like visiting an old friend. A very sad visit, however.

I cannot get enough of books under the bildungsroman genre.

Oh gosh....
I always reread books. I read super fast, so I find that I miss a lot of things the first time. But I do have some that I always read when I can find nothing else, or I want to escape to a familiar world.

By far, the best is Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks. I love her writing style and the realistic characters and the vivid/complex plot. I fell in love with this book. Genius Squad by the same author is the second book in the series and I also read it rather religiously, but the first was definitely the finest.

Harry Potter always takes me back to my childhood and I remember reading this series with my mother and brother, so I love rereading it.

Daughters of the Moon for some reason, these books enchanted me when I was a preteen.

Sherlock Holmes always a good read

I always loved The Last Unicorn as a kid and now own the movie on DVD. Some of the other books I always read probably about to many times to keep count were/are: The entire series of Ghattens' Gambit by Gayle Greeno, The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble (a childrens story book that inspired my love a drawing as a kid) and City of the Sorcerers by Mary H. Herbert.

There are a lot of books that I read over and over again; mostly because I enjoy them.

The Realm of Possibility- I take this book EVERYWHERE with me. It's either in my backpack or in my purse, no matter where I go. If you haven't read it, I highly suggest you do. It's an amazing book. I personally think David Levithan is one of the greatest YA authors out there. Every person in the world can relate to at least one of the characters, if not more, which is why I love it so much.

Shannara Novels- There are so many of them that I don't read through them as often as I would like. There are about 20 now, and Terry Brooks is in the process of adding about 10 more (and more in the future). But it is a GREAT fantasy series. It reminds me of Lord of the Rings. Epic fantasy. A great choice for any fantasy lover.

Harry Potter series- My second favorite fantasy series, behind Shannara. Harry Potter is what got me into fantasy, and it has always been a love of mine.

Tempted by Virgina Henley: Its such a delicious read it has it all romance, betrayal, hidden truths, ghosts, a little bit of everything. Its just one book that refused to be closed XD

Infinity by Maggie Shayne: Its a beautiful tale with elements of all things fantasy, and much more. I loved the characters especially the lead heroine who is far from wimpy, and whiny.

There are others but at the moment I cant recall them.

the first book in the "Tales of the Otori" series called Across the Nightingale Floor. very well written book. If you think you'd find Japanese historical fiction interesting, this series is very well written.

Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien was always one of those books I could never get enough of. No matter how many times I have read it, 50something, I notice something new every single time.

Another is Killshandra by Anne McCaffrey. Every time I read it I get bound up in the world of the crystal singers and it gets under my skin like an addiction.

The final one is Homeland by R.A. Salvatore. The first time I picked it up I read it 3times in a matter of 2days. It was a amazing and still is.

I generally despise rereading books until many years have gone by and I barely remember what went on in the book in question >>; One of the few books I have reread was The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass and it was one of my favorite books since 6th or 7th grade. Then there's Gathering Blue. I read that one twice and would again but that book has been MIA for a while. Gathering Blue is an amazing book and it makes you think. Its about a crippled girl who lives in a society who leaves crippled people in the woods to die when they are babies(or if your older and get injured to where you are no longer useful). She was spared as a baby because of her grandfather (I think) and then later on because she was amazing at sewing. It is a book I recommend and you will understand why they treasure her talent enough to spare her.
