I have never re-read a book in my entire life. Probably 'cause the saying affects me much "So many books, so little time."

There is an almost infinite number of things to read so I virtually never re-read unless you count scriptures, variations of myths, or different versions of popular stories like fairy tales.

I live to reread my favorite books! It’s like revisiting old friends in a world I miss! I have learned not to reread them too often because I don’t want to start to memorize it-that kinda ruins the experience. I sometimes even reread the books I loved as a kid to see how I feel about them now. I still love to read “A Wrinkle In Time” by Madeline L’Engle along with the rest of that series. Still so interesting.
