I do that, too. There are at least a dozen and maybe more books that I've re-read every few years for the past 60 or so years. I recently read Edgar Rice Burroughs "Tarzan of the Apes", which is the first book I ever read, probably about 70 years ago. I hadn't read it since then and I'm surprised at how good it is. I kind of doubt that I understood much of it the first time although I don't recall not understanding it.
I first read Pearl S Buck's "The Good Earth" sometime around 1956 or so and I've read it every few years since. I have a lot of books I do that with.
I generally forget enough detail in that time that it's pretty new to me when I re-read it.
