I think for me when I do a re-read of something I last read 30 years ago, it's a toss-up whether the suck-fairy has visited or not... What I thought fresh and exciting before I was 30 is now tired and stale because the trope has been done to death since then and you can see the plot holes.
It takes a good author to make sure there are no plot holes you can drive a train through sideways and to make your umpteenth read as fresh as your first. I still like the same genres, but not necessarily the same books.
