I was just about to ask how we solve a problem like you when I saw someone beat me to it.

I reread good books. I can usually discover more new interesting things in the rereading of a good book than I can in the first reading of an average book.

Hummm, I usually reread between 12 and 30 books a year but as I read between 250 and 400 books a year it is a small percentage (one of the joys of being old lol).

I can't understand the read and delete thing. I mark my read books with the date in calibre (date marking is new this year) but the idea of deleting a book lol... unthinkable.

I guess the fact that books take up no more room than an external hard drive or two makes it so much easier to keep books and even to revisit them.

I find myself going back to reread a book in a series when the main character in the new book was a bit part in a previous book.

I guess growing up in a rural area with no friends living near enough to visit often made my books into my "friends" lol.

I have a huge tbr, over 500 books. I usually don't re-read, but I will re-read when I want to finish a series where I finished the first book like 5 years ago and I have no idea what happened. Then I start from the start I guess.

Even high on the hill where I come from, that's funny stuff!

Oh, how do you solve a problem like DiapDealer?

cfrizz · 03-07-2015, 10:49 AM

I reread constantly, which is why I have my complete library on all of my devices.

Other times, it seems like I can't get into anything new but devour a couple of old favorites. That seems to put me in the mood to try a new author.

Wondering if that is normal for most or is just my own habit.

I've been rereading Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher series this week as I've had an inner ear infection (now cleared up) and just couldn't concentrate on anything new though I tried.

Fiction - never
Non-fiction - when a reason calls for it

I love to laugh (there is a commonality there, after all) - err - re-read... and start at the very beginning.
