I find, though, that most of the books I read I don't re-read because I'd get very little enjoyment from them in doing so. Giving the reader pleasure on re-reading is, I think, a mark of good writing. Austen has that, as does Christie, Tolkien, and even David Eddings. Pratchett for me personally does not. I enjoy his books, but I don't re-read them.
