Do you have favourite books on your shelves that you can read over and over again?  Give us the why's and wherefore's (lol)

I love series of books (trilogies etc).  So I have all the Dragon Riders of Pern, and other series by Anne McCaffrey.  All David Eddings and Jean M Auel. Susan Howatch books about the Church of England and Barbara Taylor Bradford's books about Successful Women.  Any of Nora Roberts' sets of tales. I will have to start replacing some of them they are so well read they are falling apart.

ANYTHING by Rosamunde Pilcher.  My copy of Winter Solstice is in a similar state (front cover completely gone) and I just reread it last month for about the 4th time.  Can't get enough.  I'm feeling an urge to reread September again.
