sonnabo Fairhope, AL 38, joined Dec. 2008	It depends on the book. I have a few that I keep and re-read from time to time. But it's never as good as the first time. Just like watching a movie you've already seen. Once you know how it ends the suspense is gone.

alicekathleen Sacramento, CA 72, joined May. 2008	No. I reread most favorites. I have read a few short stories that I liked so much, like Brokeback Mountain, that I immediately began the story again. Can you see a movie twice?

alicekathleen Sacramento, CA 72, joined May. 2008	Maybe that is the answer. I am a fast reader, can read one an evening if I am into it and book is of normal length. I watch dvd's, movies, like reading a book....start, stop and go to bathroom, start, stop and make a phone call, start, stop and go have a meal. I have seen favorite movies, like Rebel Without a Cause, over half a dozen times and enjoy it every time. I love a HUGE book like War and Peace or Shantaram that I know is going to be good and last for a week.

mrjj Olympia, WA 62, joined Mar. 2008	I re-read Catch-22 every 4 years or so--and it is always relevant. Different wars, but always the same issues... Also, I find that if you wait 4 or 5 years, almost any book seems new...maybe thats a problem with my middle-aged brain?? lol

turbodoc Noblesville, IN 67, joined Dec. 2008	I agree with jj, if it has been a long time between reads, it seems new. There may be bits and pieces I remember, but on the whole, it is new (again).

semicautious Salt Lake City, UT 32, joined Jan. 2009	I think that's the great thing about literature, though, is the books you do return to, even though they typically aren't as good as the first time around, they are still good and familiar. You know what to expect and that's why I re-read books. I'm a literature major, though, so it's in my nature to get ridiculously nerdy about literature. I had an English Lit. teacher in high school who explained it perfectly. Books are like people, you return to the ones that had an impact on you... and those books are like a close friend that you run into after years' of not seeing each other... some things are a surprise, some things never change, and it's comfortable because it's familiar. Does that make sense?

Does that make sense? That makes perfect sense. And there is one more point that I think is relevant here--I am not the same person I was when I first read Catch-22 at age 20 back in college. Hopefully I've matured, and hopefully I have developed some insights in the intervening 23 yrs (GAD--HOW DID THATT HAPPEN?). So when I re-read a book, not only is the book somewhat new, but so am I...

emeraldtora Somerville, AL 42, joined Mar. 2009	It really depends on the book. I have a great memory with books I have read so most of the time I still remember all the details. Now if it is a book that has a lot of twist and turns with a whole lot of character interaction that is part of a series of books. Then I will read it again.

goodtimes40 Paragon, IN 49, joined Mar. 2009	I buy all the books I read cause I have no problem re-reading them. I have so many that by the time I pick up one I have already read, the characters in between have overwhelmed me to the point where it is almost new! Especially the really long multi-book series where there are so many characters that it's hard to keep up with where they were and what they were doing since the books in the series only come out about one per year. The best example of this would be Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time I have been reading it since it first came out in like 1987 and the story has yet to be completed! I hope he finishes it before he up and dies on us!

nobs4u Mansfield, OH 56, joined Oct. 2008	I like to "become"one(or more) of the characters or narrators or even the author,kinda like being in a play.Walk their worlds in their shoes,might be a different one each time I reread it.I usually wait 6 months to a year before I attempt to re-read something lenghthy;short stories,anthologies,2-3 months."Running into a close friend after not seeing them in years"that was an excellent way to put it!Well said!

witchykym Hubert, NC 48, joined Mar. 2009	The ones I usually reread are the ones where I've felt a close attachment to one or more of the characters. I also will usually reread a book if the ending surprised me - I just have to go back and look for the clues I must have missed if I didn't have it figured out before the end. Then there are the series, where the books initially came out spaced a year or more apart. Those I will reread once the whole thing's finished, so I can read them back to back.

pinciperro Waterloo, IA 56, joined Apr. 2009	I think, when I was young, I read " Harriet the Spy" probably fifteen times. I couldn't get enough of her adventures, and was highly disappointed with the movie version. Arggg! I do reread books, because sometimes, I just want to relive their story. And........ I don't know what it is about the book " The Thorn Birds", but I used to forget that I had already read it, only to get a fourth of the way through it and go.... WTF? And.. I don't really even like the book.

dancerdeb Crystal Lake, IL 52, joined Aug. 2009	I re-read books constantly, but it kind of goes with my profession (English teacher). However, I must admit that I re-read books I love just because I love them. I find that lots of books reveal deeper meaning to me with second (or third or forth, etc.) readings.

librajason Towanda, KS 42, joined Jun. 2009	Here recently, I was readin' a book called White Shark....the more I read, the more convinced I was that I'd read ten years before....turned out I had. I was like DOHH!!!! But it was still a good book. But..OT.....I won't read the same book twice.....The best part of reading is that you get to use your imagination to see the story in your head(which is much better than television) and it ruins it if you already know whats gonna happen. It also helps calm my hyper-active little brain. [Edited 8/13/2009 5:04:13 PM ]

Boy am I glad that there is another person on the planet that only reads a book once. I belong to two book clubs and usually read two books at once. meaning I will start on book one and read a while, put it down and pick up the second book and read it for a while. When I finished reading my books I usually donate them to the second hand book store so they can resell them. Or I just give them away.

middy63 Tell City, IN 54, joined Jul. 2009	I read alot (usually 2-3 books a week that I read simultaneously, because I'm anal like that) ...and sometimes in between library visits and book store trips I "have" to re-read books, lol. But I like re-reading most books if I enjoyed them the first time. I have some I re-read yearly just because I love them so much. I would agree that if you are the type that rewatches movies over and over, that you'll generally have no trouble re-reading books.

laloquis Avon Park, FL 35, joined Oct. 2009	I definately re-read books. I don't get rid of any of my books, if there is one that I particularly loved I'll go back and read it over. I did lose one of my favorites that I'd read a couple of times, (I lost a box of books when I was moving ) I was very upset. I did however, go out and bought it again so all is well

lovebugs013 Chandler, AZ 32, joined Dec. 2009	There needs to be about a 6 month span between reading a book again for me. But some ive read again about 2 months later, when you re read a book you pick up on a lot of other little things you missed. So it makes the book even better. I have some books i read up to 5 times.

bryguy67 London, OH 49, joined Oct. 2009	I usually buy the books I read, and if I haven't read it at least twice, it hasn't paid for itself. Currently, I'm reading the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. I've probably read them at least a dozen times. I enjoy them so much I've even replaced a few that got lost during a move.

veritas_08 Dallas, TX 36, joined Jan. 2010	Definitely depends on the book. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski I've read four times from cover to cover but I cannot say conclusively that I have read it. Every time I read it I find something I missed the previous times. Or understand something in a new light. This is NOT a book for light readers. It'll mess with your head bad if you get deep in it enough. But its worth the trips. If you don't mind the upside down words n using a mirror to read it lol at the beginning the book says "This is not for you." Take it as you will.

esmeraldar Toms River, NJ 69, joined Jan. 2009	I can usually reread a book if I liked it the first time. The problem I have is trying to go back to a book that I didn't finish the first time. Sometimes I can do it but most of the time I can't. I guess there was a reason that I didn't finish it.

keeyam Quinton, SK 56, joined Feb. 2010	If I enjoy the book I will re-read it over. This allows me to unwind as I slowly become enthralled by the novel. Even if I do know how the ending is going to be, I still enjoy it. Some of my novels I like have doggie-ears to them...lol

softlyspokensky Lewisville, TX 30, joined Mar. 2010	It depends on how complex the book was. If its something simple without much detail or depth then I can't reread because simply theres no point to. If, however, its a book that has a lot of symbolism and detail then I will probably reread it so that I can grasp everything. Like for example, Jane Eyre, one of my favorite books but now that Im rereading it Im realizing that I paid attention to the main plot and missed a lot of things inbetween that were important.

damnbignfine Fort Lauderdale, FL 51, joined Apr. 2010	It can be disheartening at times, but it depends on the book. I recently decided to re-read Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series. (I joined the fan club and found that I couldn't answer a lot of the questions because I had read the previous books soooooo long ago, I couldn't remember the details. It makes you seem like a sucky fan...LOL)

doctormatthews Chicago, IL 39, joined May. 2010	Sometimes I'll forget that I read a book. Then I pick it up again and half way through I realize I know what's going to happen. First it's a weird deja vu, but then I realize, duh, this is that book. I did that with Camus' The Stranger. Usually, if I pick up an old book, I usually just skim it and reread all of the best parts. But I think the only books that I have successfully read twice were "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "To Kill a Mocking Bird." Really, there's too many unread books to waste your time on one. They're a lot like women.

When I go back to an old book that I like, I'll usually pick up on little details that I missed the first time around. Sometimes those little things make me love the book even more than before.
