I enjoy re-reading, and I enjoy re-reading for the journey, savouring the path taken to those twists or end results, spotting the hints or foreshadowing I might have missed on the initial read or interpreted differently, but I also want that first time read experience as unspoiled as possible.
Re-reading will always allow me to get the experience of enjoying the journey while knowing what will happen; being spoiled before first read robs me of those surprises I also enjoy.
