again and again books

Hi ya

Lately I've been re-reading Neuromancer, by William Gibson, and it struck me that it is one of a couple of books that I have read more times than I can remember. Others are Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, Dune by Frank Herbert, the various Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. There's a common thread of abstract, at times mystical, thought transcending life while trying to stay strongly within the world in these, for me.

Now I want to know: What are your Triple-A rated books that you've read Again And Again? What do you think draws you to them?
