This is not a constant for me; I will re-read some books I have read before and really liked, but I haven't and I know I will not with others, and some of these I may have ironically liked more. i can't speak for anyone else of course, but for me, I think I revisit the books which were a combination of satisfaction and were easy reads, lazy I suppose but that's me. Whereas I know I probably won't see Gandalf and Samwise and Frody again in my lifetime (sniff!), but I think that's not just a lazy mind but more it is so involved that I could eat several other moderately sized new books / books not read before, and so choose to do that.
