Between the Lines discussion

How common is it to re-read a favorite book? After reading a great book, it is often difficult to find that same level of passion in your next read and I am tempted to go back to a book that I already read and loved. Do any of you agree?

Good to know I am not alone in re-reading.

I very, very seldom re-read a favorite book! To me personally, it feels like I'm not making good of my time by doing so as there are tons of new books out there in my to-read list. But I also guess it depends on how fast you can read and how often. It takes me around 20 days to a month to read a 400-500 page book simply because of work and other things. May be 10-15 days if the book is really good.

Only rarely. Too many books and too little time!

I'm in agreement with the time vs the # of new books idea. My to-read list continues to grow but there is a book that I read nearly six years ago that I can't stop about. It's a trilogy actually and when I'm finished my current book, I'm gonna go for it.

I still haven’t re-read Here Be Dragons but it is still on my to do list.

Visiting a favorite book is always a good thing, even if you are visiting the book just to read favorite parts.
