I haven't yet re-read a single book. But there are some great books I really want to re-read them.

I never do that, because there are simply other books to read. Why would I read a book with twists that I already know, when I can start a brand new one?

I typically don't unless I have nothing to read. Right now, I went on a spree at my $1 book store, and have about 40 classics to get through.

Several others I go back and read snippets of.

I have not re-read books since my teen years. I do not like to get rid of them though. Maybe someday they will all be new again.

I don't remember re-reading just for pleasure. It's better to invest the time in exploring new books.

However, there's a series I've wanted to re-read for a long time. It's none other than Harry Potter. I missed the magical world and will get back to it as soon as I have enough free time on my hands.

I always do this, but only with classics and philosophy books. Of course, a few times I listened the books again and again while I was at the gym.

I don't usually reread books. I'm pretty good at remembering the plots for most of the books I've read. But there are some books I want to reread because they were so good when I read them the first time. Maybe in a few years, I'll feel like rereading them.

Latest Review: Not Fishy Enough by Briton Kolber

Post by Alissa Nesson »

I love to reread my favorite books but I try not to do it too often because if I start to memorize the book it kinda ruins the experience. What I do now is put a post-it note in the front of the book with the month and year that I read it last so I can make sure I don’t reread it too often!
