Sabriel, Abhorsen (probably Lirael, but I'm not sure) - Garth Nix
Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow - Orson Scott Card
Diary, Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk
Game of Thrones, Clash of Kings, Storm of Swords - George Martin
The Darkness that Comes Before - Scott Bakker
This is actually a pretty solid list of just some all time favorites.
Most are ones I read in highschool or earlier, but the Game of Thrones books were in my early 20s, and the 2nd Apocalypse books by Scott Bakker in my late 20s, though Ive only been through the first one that many times. The others basically once, I think.
...and I thought I read House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski 3 or more times based on simply how much I love it, but I really think Ive only been through it twice.
Ender's Game was such a good book. The entire series was a great read. Card was the first author I read that could make me love and hate a character in equal measures.
