I've been doing a lot of rereading recently - both to get me through a highly unpleasant book I've been reading for a month, and because my brain doesn't want to do new stuff.
It's great. I'm still amazed by how much "new" stuff there is in a book I've already read. EM Forster is cleverer than I remembered (and that takes some doing), and Georgette Heyer funnier.
I think Winter is a good season for rereading. It's a literary form of comfort food.

I mostly reread nonfiction, because I apparently don't retain the information well enough at first. *NM*

I love to re-read. Most of the things I've read, I've read 2-4 times each. *NM*
