Henry James is the gift that keeps on giving for me. I re-read frequently. Used to read two Jane Austens a year, but I have cooled on that.
Not sure what "buy repeatedly" means? I check books out of the library or download on Kindle when price is under $10, but actively seek out any new titles by Margaret Atwood, Ken Kalfus, TC Boyle, or Max Barry.
>5 Crypto-Willobie: I also like David Lodge.

Hmmm … you got me to thinking! I realized that I mostly reread poetry - T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, Mary Oliver, etc. As I age, poetry seems to ripen, offering sweeter tastes, though sometimes the fruit has become sour or bitter (which makes it even more likely to be resavored!)
As for authors I continue to buy, there are dozens whose works almost always enthrall me - in science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, thrillers, sciences, history, politics. My problem has always been that I find the world too fascinating. I can focus, but I really find it hard to limit.
