I haven't listed everything---I've literally forgotten some, but I  
would be
amiss if I failed to mention Raymond Chandler's works, long time  
favorites.
I know I've gone through all of Pynchon's novels more than once,
like Dave I went OCD with CoL49. But Vineland ain't far behind. Every  
time
I go back to Mason & Dixon I find whole swaths of stuff I missed the  
first
two times around.

Re-read the Seuss books a zillion times to myself during my peak years  
of
intellectual achievement, somewhere between 3 and 8.
