I don't tend to re-read much, but here are four I've read multiple times:
- Charlotte's Web, by E.B. White
- Sex Tips for Girls, by Cynthia Heimel (not quite what it sounds like)
- The Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin
- Some of the books in the Tales of the City series, by Armistead Maupin.

@jeridansky@sfba.social @Ashedryden@xoxo.zone I read _Sex Tips for Girls_ to tatters. I probably replaced it twice and can still quote from it despite not having picked it up in 30 years I loved _Charlotte's Web_ until I reread it as an adult and figured out that it's just a smarter version of _The Giving Tree_ Charlotte endlessly does for Wilbur (who can barely take care of himself) and artificially props him up to the world. By the time he finally -- finally! -- asks, “Why did you do all this for me?' I don't deserve it. I've never done anything for you" all I could do was shout, "Good fucking question!"
