Do you reread books that you like a lot?

Do you rearead any books that you absoulty love?If so which ones are they?

Oh I'm so guilty of this. I have reread a lot of CS Lewis books because I'm just really hooked reading them!

I have a hard time re-reading a book. Even if there's parts I don't remember. I feel like once I've finished with a book, I want something new. Re-reading a book feels like a chore.

 

[Denis Hard]

If a book has a simple linear plot then I definitely won't read that book more than once. For stories with far more complex stories and a major twist at the end [for example, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold] I can re-read the story to see if I can find any plot holes that would make the twist absurd. Beyond that, the only book I ever read over and over is Howard's A Gent From Bear Creek.

I frequently re-read books. Most of the time, if enough time passes, it's like reading a whole new book. And some books are comfort reads -- I want to spend some time time with characters I feel I have gotten to know.

 

[Katya S]

All the time. I've reread series like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson at least 10 times, as well as books like Rebecca, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice and loads more.

 

[mintyfish]

Yep, all the time! I do feel kind of guilty when I do it because there are so many other books that I haven't even read yet, and the likelihood is that I'm not going to get to read all the books I want to before I do. Sooo it does feel like I'm wasting time, but reading is about enjoyment and if I really like a book and want to enjoy it a second time then screw it, I will.

I think I've read the first Harry Potter book about 7 times...

 

[MyDigitalpoint]

Actually I hardly have time to read a book once, so no time at all to re-read any at all.

Many years ago I used to do it regularly while waiting new titles, today I only re-read the I Ching and some books about witchcraft because they are my sort of Bible replacement

I didn't think I would need to reread books, even the ones I enjoyed the most. A few of the ones I read I gave away or sold because, you know, once read they just occupy space, and I'm not the kind of person to have a bookshelf full just to gloat at the books I've read. However, growing older, and after quite some time has passed since the original reading, I do find myself remembering older books. Especially if I feel I've had a string of disappointing reads, I glance at the old bookshelf and will pick up something which I remember enjoying reading years ago, but whose content is already somewhat sketchy in my mind. I don't get rid of books I've read anymore.

 

[Knotical]

I used to reread some of my favorite books, but right now I don't even have time to read new ones.

 

[Joker99352]

I've never re-read a book, but I have been assigned the same book for multiple classes a couple of times. I usually skim the book itself and look up summaries online, if I can. I might re-read a book later on down the road, but so far I haven't found any books that make me want to read them multiple times over.

 

[asereht1970]

I always do. I always re-read books that I enjoyed reading. Sometimes I re-read them until the pages are nearly torn. I always go to book sale to look out for books that are cheap and second hand.

 

[Lucy]

I re-read books quite often, generally when I'm feeling sad and need to pick up something I know will be comforting or cheer me up - I generally go for books that are relatively easy reads with clearly defined characters, because then it's like slipping back easily into a universe where it feels like I've already made friends (if that makes sense!) YA books are often pretty clearly written and character-driven, so I'm often drawn to them: things like Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, etc.

 

[xTinx]

Stories that have greatly influenced me or fueled my imagination are always worth re-reading. I've re-read a number of novels especially those written by my favorite authors. The novels I enjoy re-reading the most are those in the magical realism genres (e.g. Haruki Murakami, Isabel Allende) and many other books from the Vampire Chronicles.

 

[Blessed19]

Yes of course I do reread books that I have read before and it is interesting even though I read them before but I love reading them because I understand what it says and I really want to work with the book because it has to do with my growth as a person, it does great job with my personality and how to handle myself and be a better person.

 

[astutimeliana723]

Yes, I am one of those people who likes to repeat books that I have finished reading. Not because I liked it or not, but because I forgot what I had read. LOL.

 

[Stardom22]

Yes I do read books that I like but now I am quite reading of books

 

[misha]

No i don't read book i am not a book lover instead of it i watch vidoes

 

[freakofnature]

Yes, I love re-reading books. LOTR and the Chronicles of Narnia get read at least once a year. I also re-read Harry Potter regularly, though maybe not every year.

 

[magnus2022]
