Sometimes when I reread, I am not as motivated to continue reading, when I don't pick up on enough new information, which is a downside to rereading.

I love to reread my favourite books, and not just the feel-good ones. I've read "The Last Unicorn" about 20 times! I've read all of the Harry Potter series about five or six times, and I've just finished re-reading 1984 for the third time.Ecaterina Raileanu wrote: ↑21 Feb 2023, 11:10 What do you think about re-reading the same book multiple times? I like sometimes to read again a book I used to love years ago, just to see if I still feel the same about it.

I do the same. I feel that there is always something that I missed on the first reading, especially if it was years ago. At the moment, I'm listening to all the classics on audible rather than re-reading them. This also offers a different perspective upon hearing the books narrated.Ecaterina Raileanu wrote: ↑21 Feb 2023, 11:10 What do you think about re-reading the same book multiple times?

Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare

There are so many books I could re-read forever without getting sick of them (like Donna, I've re-read the Harry Potter series so many times and I've also re-read 1984 too many times to count and have felt I learned something new each time), but then there are some books that I loved so much on the first read that I am afraid to re-read them in case my opinion changes drastically.
I never usually re-read nonfiction.

Yes, I re-read books right away as well. The first time, I will rush through the pages to reach the end and soothe my curiosity, and the second time, I will go slowly, savoring every detail.Jenni Schmitt wrote: ↑02 Oct 2023, 06:36 I always re-read books, if they're good. Usually I'll read a book a second time right away, then it will sit on a shelf for a while. Books I've re-read the most tend to come to bed with me.
