Do you enjoy re-reading? This seems to be one of those hit or miss things for people. Some people love to read their favorite books over and over again, sometimes spending more time re-reading than reading new books. Others don’t like to re-visit books they’ve already read and take a more one and done approach to reading.

Until about 10 years ago or so, I didn’t re-read books. I just didn’t see the need. Then I discovered a few books, mostly non-fiction at first, that hit me a certain way and made me want to re-read them again… and again. After that a few fiction series touched me a certain way, and I decided to spend time re-reading some of them. I’ve discovered a different type of enjoyment in revisiting characters that I love and experiencing their stories again.

Over time the list of books I want to re-read has grown. Now I have a bookcase dedicated to books that I’ve loved and want to revisit again. And again. My focus is still on the books I have yet to read, because let’s be honest, the list is long, but I generally have at least one re-read on the go.
