It's more about reliving that experience you felt when reading that book then it is about just reading it again. At least that's how it is for me which is why there are only certain books i will read more then once.

What The Villain said, but also, the experience can change with multiple readings. Why listen to an album twice? Or watch a movie twice? It's the same thing.

I can empathize with you on this. Haven't read any books, or more precisely novels, twice myself, but I frequently read short stories two or more times as I come across them in anthologies. It's surprising how you can enjoy them all over again especially if you don't recall all the specifics. However I've decided to skip Murray Leinster's "First Contact" if I ever come face to face with it again as the punch has now lost its fizz. Poems, too, I like to read over and over. There are some books I'd like to read again, books I read thirty, forty years ago just to see if they're as good as I remember them.

The main reason I started my re-read of IT this time is because of the news that IT is going to the big screen. There are some major parts that got left out of the miniseries and I want to see if was a good reason for it, would it be that difficult to add those parts. It's geeky, I know, but then I really don't give a sh*t, lol.

Maybe I'm gonna have to give BOOKS OF BLOOD a try. If they're that good I might make it one of my Halloween reads when October returns.

Right now I'm reading an ebook of IT-I can't read paperbacks anymore without my specs and they give me a headache plus I couldn't pass an optical examination.
