Favorite books to reread over and over

Tos Books I like to reread Dreams of The Raven by Carmen Carter and Carona by Greg Bear A.C Crispin's Yesterday's Son and it's Sequel Time for yesterday and Sarek. Strangers from the Sky from the Sky by Margaret Wander Bonanno .
 
I don't really reread books these days, I have to many new ones to read.
This is my problem. My TBR is two years long at least, and I'll change it up as new stuff comes out by authors I like.

However, I have reread the Q books more than once mainly because they're funny and short.
 
My main problem with Diane Carey’s writing is her prose style. Some writers’ prose flows. Hers is chunky and just stopped me dead occasionally.

I’m one of those people with way too many unread books to reread any Star Trek books, though when I was a lot younger I probably read everything published before 1980 at least twice. Every so often I think I should reread The Entropy Effect, though. That was a hell of a step up from Death’s Angel.
 
I remembered after my last post that I have read the DS9: Avatar books a couple times, and I think I read the first two Titan books a couple times, but I think that's about it. Now that I'm getting closer to the end of the Novelverse and there are less new books I've been thinking about rereading some of my favorites.
 
Every so often I think I should reread The Entropy Effect, though. That was a hell of a step up from Death’s Angel.

Mostly I haven't reread any Star Trek novels since about 1985. The Entropy Effect is one of the very few exceptions. I've probably reread it four or five times over the years and I'm sure I'll read it again one of these days.
 
Although it's been a while since I have read them, I used to reread the alternating "history" chapters from Diane Duane's Spock's World and The Romulan Way many times. Love those books. For me, regardless of what they put on screen, those books will always represent the definitive version of Vulcan and Romulan history.
 
I keep trying to reread Trek books, but every time I try, I crash out on one book or another that just stops me cold.

A couple years ago I was rereading the Pocket TOS books from the 80's, in publication order. It was rough going a few times (The Klingon Gambit, for example) but I was able to blow through them and carry on. Then I got to Enterprise: The First Adventure and it killed my forward momentum. I know I could skip around it, and one day I will. But I really dislike that book. Which is a shame, because Vonda's Entropy Effect and movie novelizations are pretty close to the top of the list for me. Weird.

More recently, I wanted to reread the DS9 Reboot. But then I got to Mission: Gamma: Twilight. A couple hundred pages in, I just set it down one evening and have never been able to force myself to pick it back up.

So, I guess, I'm providing the OPPOSITE of the thread topic. Sorry!
 
I decided to start rereading Immortal Coil this morning, I'm working on a chronological read through of the Enterprise-E era TNG stories, and it was the next in the list. I had debated rereading it or jumping straight to the next book on my list, The Q Continuum, but decided to go with Immortal Coil, since I haven't read it since 2016 and remember absolutely nothing about it.
