Just seems a bit boring to me as I rarely re-read a book.

I reread books because I start feeling a bit of a longing for their world. I guess it's analogous to a friend... you don't just have one conversation, friend them on Facebook, and ignore them forevermore because, well, you already spoke to them. With the GREAT books, the conversation is never the same, even though the words are identical. *shrug*
Great. Now you got me talking all poetical-like. Happy now?
I wonder if reading speed comes into it at all? I read SO many books in a year that a once-a-year reading doesn't seem frequent at all. Whereas if I'd only read 12 books since the last reading...
