Well, the only book I've every read twice was "For Whom the Bell Tolls", Hemingway so maybe that's a contender.

The only book that I've read several times over, and always enjoy, is The Hobbit, by J.R.R Tolkien.

The condensed version of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (the unabridged version is seven large volumes) was well worth reading, since it's really eye opening with regard to how representative republics come to be ruled over by unchecked cabals from behind the scenes while retaining the outward appearances (for the sake of the people being ruled) of representative republicanism.
Even the emperors were almost always just the front man for the true ruling cabal, who remained behind the scenes as far as the general public was concerned.
Augustus was likely one of the very few examples of a true emperor of Rome, along with the occasional general who took the throne by force from time to time, due to the loyalty of his officer corps and armies.

I could never name just one. Several of the best have been mentioned. I read mostly non fiction, military history but throw in a novel now and then.
Tom Clancy was good when he was alive and writing his own novels. Interesting that there are still books coming out under his name but he has been dead for years.

'Islands in the Stream'

His last novel. Wasn't finished when he died, but was close. His wife and friend put it together after his death.
