I had never reread books until a few months ago, because I could still remember the plots and my favourite genre isn't very interesting if you know who the murder is when you start the whodunnit. It's been long enough that I decided to reread one of my favourite authors last winter, but I was worried that books I loved reading in my teens would no longer appeal to me. Fortunately Agatha Christie was as brilliant as ever. Now I'm inhaling some Dick Francis and finding them as enjoyable as I did when I first stumbled across them 25 years ago.
Either I was evolved at 10 or I'm stagnant, doesn't matter since I'm very much looking forward to savouring all my favourites again.
