I have been talking about this with a friend who hates rereading. I am not someone who picks apart what I am reading as I go, so I find that I am able to be genuinely surprised by twists and turns some of the better books I read take. Going back and reading them again, I am better able to see the setup and foreshadowing that leads to important events. I also find a lot of comfort in rereading a book that I know what is coming up, I’m able to enjoy it without some of the anxiety that a new experience brings.

Like many, I have read the Harry Potter series many many time. Physically read them, listen to the audio book, read and listen at the same time (which I highly recommend)

I have read the Stormlight Archive books and Mistborn Era 1 a couple of times.

Many other that a can’t recall from high school when I really started to enjoy reading.
