For you - and for your readers: recommendations for books / series that are readable and rereadable and rereadable? Your books (all 3 major universes) are my go-to comfort reading; I'm certain I've read everything at least 3 times, some a dozen or more.

This one looks as if it would be best answered in the comments, since it already covers my work. Go for it, folks...
Curiously, I find my reread pile goes in and out of fashion for me; things I thought I'd never tire of go stale, others rise to the surface again after years. Best shorthand I can think of for this effect is that my psychological needs change over time, as do, sometimes, the reasons I reread what turns out to be no longer quite the same book.
I'm glad my work holds up for you. Judging from reviews the book of mine that most changes its effect on subsequent readings is The Hallowed Hunt; possibly because readers stop fighting preconceptions created by other books in the series and the expectations of the genre generally, and start to take it on its own terms.
