Do you reread books?

I do. I find it a comforting thing. See, I count my books as my friends, and so picking one up and reading familiar dialog is like driving over and visiting a friend I haven't seen for awhile, but love dearly. No book, if it's really good, is going to satisfy me if I only read it once. Someday, perhaps in a year, perhaps five, I'll be reading it again.

And guess what? C.S. Lewis agrees! Take a look at this quote from his work "An Experiment in Criticism" -

In the first place, the majority never read anything twice. The sure mark of an unliterary man is that he considers 'I've read it already' to be a conclusive argument against reading a work. We have all known women who remembered a novel so dimly that they had to stand for half an hour in the library skimming through it before they were certain they had once read it. But the moment they became certain, they rejected it immediately. It was for them dead, like a burnt-out match, an old railway ticket, or yesterday's paper; they had already used it. Those who read great works, on the other hand, will read the same work ten, twenty or thirty times during the course of their lives.
