Not a novel, but I've read Le spleen de Paris through
twice, also Les fleurs du mal.

I mean, Dostoevsky, looking at my copy of The Brothers
Karamozov on the shelf, I've read it twice, also Crime
and Punishment, the second reading for each when new
English translations appeared.

I've read Kawabata's Thousand Cranes, Snow Country,
Beauty and Sadness, The House of Sleeping Beauties
twice each, and will read them again I'm sure.

I'm re-reading, slowly, Journey to the West, the
classic Chinese novel featuring Sun Wu Kong, the
Monkey King. 

1984
We
Brave New World

I'll think of more, I'm sure.  I've read lots of books
twice, if it's good, sometimes it's good enough to
read again.


I'm assuming we're talking about re-reading novels for
pleasure, not for projects related to work or official
duties of some sort.  I've recently read Kipling's The
Jungle Book several times, for a specific project.
Likewise with quite a few novels and other books.
