What are the books that you would read more than 3 times?

Patrick Suskind's Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

I am not sure if you asked this question to get a list of books or to have a general answer. I could list you my favourite books that I would love to read more than once, but then maybe you wouldn't! It's really just subjective. But to answer it in a more general sense, a book to be re-read many times would be one where each time you read it you get to see it in a different way or the more you read it, the more you find it interesting and the more you read the more you'll discover between-the-lines ideas that you hadn't seen earlier when you were too hooked up with the major story. It needs to be a well-written brilliant work of art that has got lots more than what a first read would reveal. Any book that made you think and you ended up just mesmerised thinking about it in the end, well that would deserve a second shot maybe you'll end up getting more out of it. So since you asked, please do share some of your re-read books..

I'd read holy books of all religions a number of times.
