The "plot" is pretty much irrelevant for any good book; it's the writing that's enjoyable. That might even be used as a definition for what makes a good book. I can read "Pride and Prejudice" over and over again, despite knowing what the outcome of the book is. The wit and delightful characters are what make it worth re-reading, not wondering whether or not Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy are going to end up married.
