Yeah, re-reading loses its appeal when the entire plot of a mystery flashes in my head as I read the first few pages. I finally forgot enough from the Agatha Christies I read as a teen that I could enjoy reading them again last year.

Or cheap secondhand books. Since I don't re-read, I have never bought new books or saved any books. It's a novelty to have a book library on my computer and eReader at the moment, if the files weren't so tiny I'd be deleting the ones I've read.
