Do you like to re-read books?

No, i hate it ! I have a very good memory and I feel like just read the book. When read I don't like to know what happens in the book. The thrill is not the same when i know the end

I do re-read some books but I prefer to read ones that I haven't read. It all depends if the book is a good one. Also, when you re-read a book, yu already know what is going to happen which makes it somewhat boring, but there are some books that blow me every time I read it. I usually read unfinished series to brush my mind and to remember hints and clues that I could use for the books later in the series.

I like re-reading books. Sometimes a book is so good that even when I am not finished, I know I would re-read it again. Books is one of those things that I like buying used. Second-hand clothes could be dirty, second-hand electronics could malfunction but no matter how beaten up a book is, the words are still the same.

I have re-read a few books, but normally I don't. I do keep a lot of "classic" books. I figure my children will read them and they actually have read quite a few already. Most of the books that I do re-read are classic books. I don't think I have ever re-read a mystery book, as I already know the ending, so there is no surprise element anymore for me.

About reading, I choose many types, some I just read for funny, some just becasue it is a good book for life or it is a famous book that is well known throught out the world. And also different period of life we may choose different books, and also one book, we may have many different feels for each time we read. So, about the book, for the good book I have read, I would like to buy them and after many years like two or three years, I will re-read it.But for the book I read just for funny, I will not buy them.

I absolutely love re-reading books... well, at least my favourite ones! For example, I'm a huge fan of Dragonlance (for those who aren't familiar with it, it's a great fantasy series), and I've probably read those books more than 5-6 times already, but I never get tired of them. Of course, I also love reading new books as well :) If I found books at a sale that I've already read... buying them would depend on how much I liked them, I guess.

I re-read many of the classic novels. When I had plenty of time during my university years, I read a number of classic novels, and I made a collection of them. Today, when I get the time, I would often re-read my favorite classics, and enjoy them very much too. Yes, when I find some favorite books at the sale centers, I often buy them too if I already don't have them.

I usually prefer to move on to new books, but there are a handful that I have read twice. It will usually be years later, when I will remember something about the book but not all of it and it may trigger me to want to read it again. I read the Catcher in the Rye in highschool and to Kill a Mockingbird and I want to read each of those again. I don't remember a lot about them as that was like 25 years ago but I do remember I liked them.

I do re-read books... but rarely. I'm an avid reader and I can't go anywhere without a book or spend a day without reading a few chapters of something. I typically finish 2-3 books a week (a bit less now that college has gotten crazy, but I'm still reading lots). I've read 7 books twice, and ONE book three times. I usually don't re-read unless a long time has passed and I LOVED the book the first time I read it. I like going back and reminding myself of all the details and discovering things I hadn't seen before. I usually like to own copies of books that I loved. If I got the book from the library, then I'll get myself a copy. I like feeding authors that I love. Even if I don't read it again immediately... I probably will someday.

I see nothing wrong in reading a book more than once. if there is a book that i really enjoyed reading, i would never turn down an opportunity to read it again. Sometimes i can get more out of a book with a second reading than the first. Sometimes there are things that we wish that reading a book again will find for us.

That depends on what type of book it is. There are a few books I keep re-reading because I do not get the meaning or moral right away, or that it is a good reference, or there are many ways to study it piece by piece. For example one book I keep re-reading is the bible no matter how many times you have read it, there is always something new about it. Next are devotionals, motivational books- I find that it is a goldmine of advices and since there are times I am bound to forget this and that I'd like to go back to it. Novels,,,well not much I prefer to borrow them than buy them.

I love library sales! Most of the time I prefer reading new books.. there are so many out there I want to read, but I also read my very favorites over and over again. Why? I think it's a comfort/feel good thing. Like going home again.... If I see my favorite book at a sale and I don't already have it on my shelf, I will probably buy it, depending on how many books I already have in my bag! What are those favorite books that you had such a hard time deciding on?

I like to read books with illustrations over and over again, like arts, home designing, science, even biographies. But I do not re-read stories or novels. I do buy secondhand books, as long as there are no scribbles in the pages; just a few may be fine.

I love re-reading books. Not all books obviously but I have some books that I've read 4 or 5 times. The chances are that if I re-read a book I already own it so wouldn't necessarily buy it at a book sale. Having said that I've borrowed tonnes of books from friends over the years and have bought a copy of the book myself after reading my friend's. Also, unless it's a thriller or detective novel which by their very nature are difficult to re-read, there's no reason not to read a favourite book again and again. It's a bit like watching a favourite film and seeing new things in it every time you see it. I have to have a book on the go so if I look at my bookshelf and can't think of what to read or don't fancy some of my newer books I reach for some old favourites. Particular favourites are anything by Jane Austen, Wuthering Heights and Crazy Horse and Custer by Stephen Ambrose all of which I've read multiple times. Also if you read your books more than once you get more for your money.

i do like to re read books after a very long while as there are some books that are worth reading. and it's not just the non fiction books, but fiction novels as well. of course, as the earlier post said, the second time might less thrilling as when reading it for the first time but i feel, if it's after a long time with a long gap, even a fiction books is worth reading again. there are some books that are really good and of course, it also depends on your preferences. non fiction books, i'll definitely re read as i might tend to forget and might want to jog my memory a little. good day

i got a big book collection, and have re-read bout half of them. if they are a good read to when i first read them i'll keep them and if they're not i'll send them to the 2nd hand shop. if i see one i've read but not got and know it's a good read i'd get it.

Yes I like to reread books. If I find one I remember reading but don't have a copy of I will pick it up, ofcourse I consider the price of the book as well. If I feel like a story has ended to abruptly I like to imagine it continued on, or of course I'll search for a sequel if there's no indication that there will be one in the first book itself.

I love to re-read the books I have on my shelves. I buy them for a reason and I have gone back to a bunch of the books that I have read. Sometimes when I dont have the time or money to go looking for a new book to buy I will grab one of my favorites and sit down to begin reading. I have a ton of books around my room. But if I have a book i don't think I would re-read I either donate it to the library or I sell it to half priced books.

I always re-read my favorites! Janet Evanovich especially! I LOVE her books! I've read that series 3 times already! Actually, my mission is to read all the books I own (FINALLY) and so, I decided the best way to do that was to start on book number 1 on 1 bookshelf and go in order so I will be rereading plenty more books!

I definitely have my favourite books and I tend to read them over and over! I think that when you have found a really exciting book to read then you never really become bored with it. At present I'm going through the Harry Potter books again and it's kind of a nice feeling to be back at Hogwarts once again! I'm not sure how many times I've read these books but I know that it's been more than three times now. I also like purchasing new books although I don't buy my books from shops or stores on the high street now, I prefer to buy my books online and I'm a member of a home book club. I don't usually purchase books that I have read already and I only ever re read the books that I have in my home. In any case reading is the best hobby in the world, in my view! A cup of tea and a good book, this kind of does it for me! Andrew
