Do you reread books or are you done with them once you’ve read them?

I like to reread books sometimes! Rereading is especially good if I’ve just finished something heavy or intense; I can follow that up with something that I’ve enjoyed before so it doesn’t take too much effort and I can have a bit of a break. I also don’t have the greatest retention for what I read, so even if I’ve read something before there’s no way I’ll remember everything. And there are certain books that are comforting and cozy and those are great to reread when I want that kind of mood.

    Some books just beg to be read again and again. I am on my 3rd copy of The Lord of the Rings, 2nd of Dune. The advent of good reading apps, like fbreader on Android saved my Ian M. Banks collection from a similar fate. That said my copy of The Algebrist is starting to show its age.

    So yes rereading a good book can be fun.
