Bookish Question #148 | Do you reread books? Why or why not?

Why or why not? What’s your favourite book to reread?

I used to re-read a lot of my favourite books. Back when I bought and read paper books, most of my bookshelf was books I’d read and re-read (the books I didn’t like enough to re-read were donated to the local charity book sale). I re-read books because I didn’t have an unlimited book budget, which meant there were times when I didn’t have anything new to read. So I’d re-read an old favourite.

I still have a shelf of paper books, and a lot of them are favourites, but I rarely re-read them.

Actually, I rarely re-read at all, and that’s mostly because of the Kindle. First, I do most of my fiction reading on the Kindle. Second, because Kindle has dramatically decreased the average cost of a novel, so I’m never in the situation where I don’t have anything new to read.
