30 Day Book Challenge - Day 15
Today's question is:
15. Do you re-read a lot? Why (not)? Name a book you have re-read many times.
I have to say no, I don't re-read books. Mainly because...well, i'm not really sure actually! Possibly the same reason why I don't re-watch movies i've already seen (usually) because I remember most or all of what happens, so why bother?
BUT -the books I probably will re-read is Stephen King's Dark Tower series. It's such an epic series (7 books, and as is traditional Stephen King, most of them are long!) and he's currently writing the 8th book in the series (even though it's actually finished - but this 8th book is to go in between some of the other ones ( i think book 4 and 5). The story and the characters are so great, and so .... epic, that I'm definitely going to read them again! in fact, I did re-read the first book in the series immediately after finishing the last one, and I picked up on a lot of stuff that i'd missed the first time around (because it didn't make sense at the time).
So most books, despite enjoying them, I probably won't re-read. And there hasn't been many (or any, rather) that i've re-read multiple times. The most i've re-read a book (so far anyway) is just once. I have re-read The Neverending Story and Alice in Wonderland. And I was thinking I should re-read The Secret Garden (that I mentioned in a previous post). In fact, i've just realized I can download that for free to my Kobo ereader!
What about you? Do you re-read books, or not? and if not, why not?
