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.
Yes.
Sometimes it’s because I’m sure there are depths and nuances that I missed before, so I want to go through it again to pick up additional things. And there have even been times that I’ve done that immediately - gone straight from the end back to the beginning.
Sometimes it’s because I remember enjoying a book but I don’t remember much of the details, so I get the urge to reread it to enjoy it again and refresh myself on the details.
And sometimes it’s just a world or characters that I love, so it’s like taking a vacation to visit old friends.
