Same here. Fortunately (or unfortunately) my memory is fading and I can now reread mysteries that I loved 25 years ago.

When I get in a rut because I've read 4 or 5 bad books in a row, I'll reread something I know I enjoyed, reminds me why I like reading in the first place.

Some things are on my definitely-re-read list, like MacDonald's Travis McGee series; some--maybe most--Heinlein; and a lot of Dean Koontz (but not necessarily his older, hungry-days stuff). Some things are on my definitely-never-re-read list, like the Bourne Trilogy. (That's also on another of my lists, named "Why the heck did you read that all the way through?)

But, yeah, I like visiting old friends.
