This is partly due to the fact that I have favorite characters that I love to visit and revisit a million times over (I will never tire of reading the last page of _Trixie Belden and the Happy Valley Mystery_ - "It means you're my special girl, Trixie."). But it's also due to the fact that I often forget what happens in books I've already read, and so I reread them in the attempt to desperately remember something (anything!) about the plot. And most of the time, the book is more enjoyable the second time around.Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14863836898073122888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-74236467944513946822009-08-27T18:06:02.927-05:002009-08-27T18:06:02.927-05:00I am a re-reader.

I have read some novels eight or nine times, but only if they're good enough to be worth it. <i>1984</i> and <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i> never get old to me, but I don't plan on re-reading a 99 cent paperback from the grocery store unless it surprises me.n4thanlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00437988628352990998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762626668776711100.post-4748419098611361302010-02-18T23:31:30.309-06:002010-02-18T23:31:30.309-06:00Gotta reread.

Reading Catcher in the Rye in high school, and then reading it ten years later is like reading two different books.Rosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16020349771157981963noreply@blogger.com
