As I'm scrolling through my "Read" list on Goodreads, I'm realizing that a lot of the stuff I read in grade school I probably read more than once, but that was partly limited access between library trips to whatever was already at home. (That list is also short a ton of Bobbsey Twins books, since I don't remember which ones I've read, but I read a good chunk of the series.) Most of the Walter Farley and Marguerite Henry stuff I've got I read multiple times; I was... a bit horse-obsessed as a child.
So here's stuff I've read more than once post-middle school, when I had regular access to new books and re-reading wasn't just because I had nothing else available.
- Watership Down (Richard Adams)
- Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien)
- The Hobbit (JRR Tolkien)
- The Elenium and the Tamuli (David Eddings)
- Small Gods (Terry Pratchett)
- Grapes of Wrath (John Steinbeck)
- To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) - Okay, I may have read this three times too
- Selected Stories of Lu Hsun (Lu Hsun)
- The United States Navy in World War II (S.E. Smith) - This is another I probably read three times
- Guadalcanal: Decision at Sea (Eric Hammel)
- A Girl of the Limberlost (Gene Stratton-Porter)
- The Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis)
- The Last Unicorn (Peter S. Beagle)
- Crocodile on the Sandbank (Elizabeth Peters)
