maybe after 1 or 2 years?
what we can learn from a book changes when our perspective of the world changes. I read this manga titled Hunter x Hunter when I was a kid, the meaning completely change when I become a high schooler and change again after I took Environmental science class. crazy feeling ngl

I don't see why not; I give the same treatment to my favourite books and movies all the time. You'll likely notice a lot of subtle details that you missed the first time (depending on the author I suppose). Heck, I had to read Dune three times just to understand it all.

Also, it's a violation of the unwritten rules to make a post like this and not tell us what your favourite book is.

Re reading is one of the best parts of reading. Yes the same things happen but the same things happen. It's comfortable like a cozy sweatshirt and sometimes that's exactly what you need. I'd say start it over and if you aren't enjoying it then move to the next but there's nothing wrong with rereading something you loved. Reading is for fun it's not a competition.

Only you can answer this, but IMO four months is not enough time to differentiate between the first and second readings. Spend more time reading other books on your list, growing and changing as a person, and maybe in another year or two pick it back up.

My favorite books I re-read about once every two or three years. By now there's no more 'deep thinking' that happens, but they're comfort books for me and re-reading them keeps them fresh in my mind for when I'm asked for a recommendation. Sometimes I do get something different from them if I've had major life changes in the interim, like moving, starting a new job, something tragic, etc.

Hi there. This subject has been very popular in the past. Please use reddit search and/or check the /r/books/wiki/faq.

I have read some books 4-5 times. Mostly I wait awhile but if there some some kind of twist ending it can be fun to re-read in light of what you know about how it enda.
