What books do you actively make sure to re-read?
There are none that I feel obliged to reread regularly, but there several that I'm glad to find I've forgotten well enough to reread again. Wodehouse, the Sherlock Holmes stories, My Family and Other Animals, Austen.

I have to admit for a moment I thought you meant Austen@. But yes, *that* Austen, the arguably greatest novelist of all time Austen.

Do you have a favorite Wodehouse?
-
Wodehouse’s prose is the most expressive and playful in the Jeeves & Wooster stories, and the characters are amusing with a nice bite. Start there. After that I like the Blandings stories. I’m just now reading Mulliner, not as sparkling as J&W.

I've recently been using this technique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_reading … Basically, I will re-read nearly everything, but only in small chunks of material that I iteratively whittle down into (spaced-repetition) flash cards.
-
Usually the first pass is a skim + highlighting of a few chunks that look important. When they reappear in my queue I'll delete, reschedule/re-prioritize, reword, or split them further. Eventually they are small enough to make a cloze-deleted flash card.
