I reread books all the time. There are books I have read 20 or 30 times. Sometimes, when I reread a book, I have forgotten the plot twists or ending, and sometimes I remember it all perfectly, including every word of dialogue. There are also books I reread for the beauty of the language. Robert Goddard falls into this category for me. I love his intricate plots, but I also love the writing itself. Also, books often make me feel things, and if those feelings are pleasant, I like to return to them (even the ups and down of horrors or thrillers can be an enjoying experience that I want to relive). Like crossi, if I buy a book that I would never read again, it feels like a wasted purchase. I want to own books that I want to read over and over, and I can borrow books that I will just read once.
