“For Love of Evil” and “On A Pale Horse” by Piers Anthony
They’re part of the Incarnations of Immortality series. Both books deal with not-so-happy topics but in a way that turns any preconceived ideas on their heads simply by adding the human element. The rest of the series I have also read several times over but those two are the ones I’ve read and reread the most

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
Good and evil, identity and family, betrayal and forgiveness. The novel’s beauty only deepens with each subsequent read.

I’ve read both The Stand and IT from Stephen King at least half a dozen times since discovering King back when I was twelve or thirteen.
I’ve read George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books through seven or eight times. Well, all but the fifth book since it wasn’t out yet the first several times I read the series. Martin will probably never finish the series but the third book is the best novel in the entire fantasy genre.

Diary of Anne Frank- gets me everytime

I read a lot and I re-read a lot, so it’s hard to say—probably Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer, or Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson.

I think I’ve read His Dark Materials trilogy 3 or 4 times. An amazing adventure when you read it as a kid- surprisingly deep and hard hitting philosophically and emotionally as an adult.
I’ve read a lot of Discworld books multiple times

I have a “reread circuit” that I run through about once a year (specifically while eating lunch):
* All of Jane Austen’s novels
* All of Tamora Pierce’s work
* The Harry Potter books
* Anne of Green Gables
* Mercedes Lackey’s Obsidian Trilogy
* Little Women
* Jane Eyre
I have plenty of other books that I like to reread, but those are the ones I’m constantly going back to.

This will never be recommended because it seems no body recs Barker. But Clive Barkers The Great and Secret Show. It’s fantastic. Yeah the hellraiser/candyman but his novels are mostly dark urban fantasy if I had explain it.

Jurassic Park and all of T Kingfisher’s horror. I love good horror (not gorey or violent necessarily)

My mom read Anne McCaffery’s Dragon Song / Dragon Singer to me when I was in elementary school. It is such a comforting re-read that I don’t even know how many times I have reread it, but the book fell apart so I got a Kindle copy. It’s kind of YA (as you can imagine since my mom read it to me when I was young), so I don’t know whether I should recommend it to an adult, but it’s just part of my childhood and makes me feel warm and cozy when I read them.

Disco Elysium.
Before someone comes in and says thats a game, it doesn’t count, let me argue that it’s basically a novel you can move through. A real choose your own adventure novel of epic proportions. The entire thing is meant to be read. It’s some of the best writing ever, and I have gone through those words dozens of times.
