I seem to find that I love to reread...alot. I reread so much it seems that I have trouble reading new material, in the sense like a different author or a series I havent heard of. I cant help but reread things. I like reading long series with many books it, such as the works of Raymond E. Feist or Brian Jacques. The authors who have many books published are by far my favorite, because I love to read and read for days on end. Due to this while I wait for a new book to come out I reread older works, often reading everything again. Do any of you do that? Could it be considered a "reading disorder" or something? *shrug* I'm not sure, but it does hinder me from moving on sometimes sweatdrop
A reading disorder thats funny! No your normal don't worry about it. I do it all the time......Or i'm not normal. Well, whos to say what normal is anyways.

I do that to, while waiting for the next book in a series to be out I re-read the series however when it gets into long series' like the Wheel of Time series. When you have about eleven books to re-read.

I love rereading books 3 or 4 times because I always seem to find new things I didn't pick up the first time I read it. Plus what's the point of buying the book if you are going to read it once and then let it collect dust?

I can really only reread until I've forgotten most of the plot and/or the details. Unless it's a realy REALLY good book! biggrin

Very rarely. I used to rerad them a few years ago, but now I realised that I barely have time for new books, not for rereads!

I'm not that big of a rereader.

I've read a few of the Harry Potter books multiple times, back when I was an obsessive fan. x3;;

I've read Watership Down twice, it's one of my favorites and I'd like to read again sometime soon. Same with Alice in Wonderland.

Then there's The Plague Dogs and The Last Unicorn. They both mean a lot to me, they're what I read when I'm feeling worried or upset. There are certain passages of The Plague Dogs that I must have read hundreds of times. And I have the opening paragraphs of The Last Unicorn memorized. <3

I think I must be the only person in the world who doesn't care that much for the book of The Last Unicorn, despite the fact that I love the movie.

My TBR list is whittling down somewhat so now I shall have the opportunity to re-read The Good Earth once I finish my current check outs from the library.

With me, Rereading always seems to be me trying to fill the time that I have to wait because the next book hasn't come out yet. The only one I don't reread are the ones I didn't like the first time.

I love to read new books, but when I'm short on money or I just have a distinct longing for a paticular book, I reread it. I have at least five books I've reread four to six times. I love my books. heart

If I like a book, I'll read it over and over again. I love rereading, because I often pick up on little things that I hadn't previously noticed.

i reread whenever i dont have anything else to read. or if i'm reading a series and the new book came out but i forgot what happened in the others then i'll reread that.

Usually I do. But recently I've been doing a lot of writing instead.

I only reread if I read the book years ago, and for some reason I remembered that I loved it. And if a new book in a series comes out, I reread the whole series again so that I remember everything that's going on so I can make sense of the new book.

I reread to the point of obession. There are VERY few books I don't read twice. I finsh books really fast, so I have to read something while I'm waiting for new ones! But also because I read so fast, I'll skip over a paragraph, or a line. Then, re reading is like, exciting because I'll pick up on stuff I didn't get before or gain insight into characters. Usually re-reading a book is better than the actual reading.

Me too. I'll be sharing a comic book with a friend (because it's just hard to read a novel together), and she'll remark upon something that I completely missed the first two times I read it. And with a comic, there aren't that many words. sweatdrop

I suppose I do that less often with books because they're not set up in pannels, where I'm too tempted to see what's coming next. The only time I skip over chunks of words in a novel is when it's a very exciting part. wink
