Thanks all for the welcome:

I think a person's interest in rereading depends on what they're looking for when they read a book.

If you're looking for new storylines that you've never seen before, only a *new* story will do.

But if you look at reading as a way to *go* to a place you're enriched by being at, with people (characters) that you're interested in being with, and if what happens to them and the choices they make feed your mind, your emotions and sometimes even your soul and spirit, then rereading can take you back to a place that you like being at without the concern that the writer might take you to some place you *don't* want to go.

When it's good, though, new is great.
