Repetitive Reading!!!

Hi friend, There are many books (most of them in fact) that I read only once. THere are even some that I will give a quick reading, just out of curiosity. But there are some books that "talk" to me. Those books open new lines of though every time I read them. I don´t read many of them anymore to know what happens (I know that by heart), but linger on what was said and why it was said. There are other books thathave many readings depending on your experiences and your moods. I remember many years ago, my youngest daughter went to the US for a year with a student exchange. I made her take a book with her against her wishesas she said she was not going to read. I put in her suitcase 100 years of solitude, by colombian Nobel prize García Márquez. She read it and sent letters talking about the book. I found it very interesting because she had read another book that the book I had read and reread many times. I had to give it another reading to see it with her eyes. I have favorite books and favorite authors. They come forward on different moments in my life. Have a nice day.

Oh, I love reading, too. And I have my own collection of books, too. But unlike you, I have mostly fiction and romance books, especially historical romance. I want to know how people at the time interact and dating. I read the same book again and again mostly because I like it or some event or conversation triggered me to look at the book again and understand it better.

I reread books all the time. Because I liked the stories and the characters and want to experience them again. They're like old familiar friends that you can spend an hour or two with.

I do tend to read many books over again, at least once. Perhaps twice or three times. There is just some books that I keep for my permanent collection, that I go through after all of these years, that I have not read in a while and decide that I want to re-read it again. Most likely to see if it has held up to my previous enjoyment of the book. Although, re-reading the same book is not always a bad thing. Through the first time reading, you might not catch certain plot points. Subtle touches the the author puts in. You read through the second time and catch these things. At least I know I do. It can be very interesting to see what touches and things that I have missed throughout the entire story. So that is a good reason to re-read a second time, to see the little things you might have missed the first time through.

Hi Mr_pearl, Yes, I do repeat readings of old books in my possession. I also keep a rather large collections of books just like you, except that I have romance novels and I don't read those with violent plots and suspense thrillers. I have a few Nancy Drew books in the library but haven't read a single title. I bought them for my daughter when she was in elementary and that was years ago. When I feel like reading, I open up a book from my favorites just to entertain myself or when I want to relax from a stressful day. I sometimes prefer reading those books that I've already read because more or less I know how it will end. Have a nice day!

I like very much to reading.And i like it to read a book again and again....seems to me that i lose some aspects or give me another feelings....

i have a couple of favourite books that i reread every so often. one is a dannielle steel book about the war in vietnan (i am a history fanatic) and one is about a missionary who was in China during the 1930s.

It's pretty simple. I will reread a book if it was a great book. I want to revisit it again. I want to enjoy it again. I want back into that world.

Hello mr_pearl, Reading has been a favorite activity of mine during my free hours since I was in elementary school. I started enjoying it as a hobby reading Nancy Drew Mystery Stories. Then, as many other growing-up girls, I also got hooked on reading romantic novels when I got to high school and college. Through the years, I have collected a considerable lot of books -- from romance novels, mystery-suspense thrillers, science-fictions, inspirational stuffs, self-help and Do-It-Yourself guide books to other reference books. If it's really a good book, it doesn't matter to me if I have read it before, I can always read it again anytime I have free time and I feel like reading.

I'm a huge reader, but I rarely re-read. Usually when I do re-read it's because I REALLY loved the book the first time I read it and because lots of time has passed and I want to remind myself of all the details again. If a lot of time has passed and you've forgotten quite a bit, it's almost like reading it for the first time again.

i repeat reading sometimes when i have forgotten some things in that particular book.

Yeah I do like re-reading books! I've read Ender's Game and Dune like 4 times each. I dunno the reason, it's just like I get the feeling 'I want to read this book again' and then I read it.

Hi Mr_pearl, I only read a book again if I didn't understand it, or parts of it. Or if there is nothing else to read, or to review it so I can relate it to the movie (if it was made into a movie). Otherwise, I move on to the next available book. I don't read all the time, but when I do I do it in one sitting, meaning I don't let go of the book unless I've finished reading it.

I have a collection of better yourself book. I love reading them. and i read them again and again to concrete it inside my mind. The best has been the power of your subconscious mind.

Hi mylotters, i wishes and warm support always for you for ever. Let me come to the point generally the repetitive reading of the particular book may influenced by many factors first ever one is the way of the book in which cast us out and the particular author who passioned us a lot but according to me i don,t be a repetitive reader but i take so much time to complete a book as i fully digest the book bothe mentally and souly it is the matter of the concern repetitive reading may wast up our time meanwhile we may read other books instead which may enhance our knowledge more and more. Thank you.

Under two conditions I'll read books again and again. One is for study, I read textbooks or references many times to make myself understand them better. The other is for entertainment. If I find something interest me, I'll read many times. I have read Chinese ancient novel "Three Kingdom" for more than ten times.

i read books again and again if its a text from my studies to understand the subject.if its interesting i will read a book again and again.i will spread the topic and content to everyone i know to make them read also.i am a good story teller
