Do you reread books or are you done with them once you’ve read them?

I like to reread books sometimes! Rereading is especially good if I’ve just finished something heavy or intense; I can follow that up with something that I’ve enjoyed before so it doesn’t take too much effort and I can have a bit of a break. I also don’t have the greatest retention for what I read, so even if I’ve read something before there’s no way I’ll remember everything. And there are certain books that are comforting and cozy and those are great to reread when I want that kind of mood.

    There are a few books I like to relive every now and then. For me, it’s a guilty pleasure, to be honest. Wish I could do it more often, and for more books.

    The ones that come to mind are Little Brother, by mr. Doctorow, Sandman by mr. Gaiman (mostly the Death chapters) and… Let’s see… Ah, yes, Neuromancer, because I’m a sucker for mainstream books, and that’s the one that got me through life.
