The Cider House Rules question

I first read this book in my early 20's. The things that stuck out to me was how disgusting the first 25% of the book was in its descriptions of abortion, and the love stories that circle around Homer. Looking back I can understand why these were what stayed with me. Reading it now in middle age is a very different experience. I did not recall the pervasive sexuality throughout the book. At this season of my life that grates on me, and it's interesting to see how I am different in this respect than I used to be. Have you ever heard of how books read US? This is one thing I believe that means--that they reveal things about ourselves in the nature of our responses to them. I have noted in the past that it is extremely rare that I read any book more than once. But this title is perhaps changing my opinion of that now. On the other hand, when a book makes an impact on me, I am not sure I want to unravel that impact by re-reading and discovering it isn't necessarily what I thought it was.
