TODAY’S POLL

LAST POLL RESULTS

38.5% of you voted Rarely, maybe years later in yesterday’s poll: Do you ever reread books?

“It’s like watching a movie over again. If it’s that good, you better believe I’ll read it again!”

“It happens when I forget that I’ve already read it — until I realize I have. But so what?”

“AFTER I FORGET THE STORY LINE.”

“I am rereading books I had to read in high school or early college… especially enjoying Steinbeck and Hemingway. Faulkner would be on the to-do list.”

“There have been books I was required to read at a younger age that I didn’t like or understand. Later, I got so much more out of rereading them as an adult. Then there have been books I once thought were so profound and meaningful that I reread them with great disappointment. They were cheesy and trite. It’s funny when I think about my younger self and my tastes back then.”

“I have nine books of daily reading every morning, ranging from philosophy and poetry to motivational and business. Then I do my morning journaling. I continually read some of those books year after year, e.g., A Calendar of Wisdom by Tolstoy. I also reread classics I first read decades ago because I get different meanings from them now.”

“I’ve reread a few books, but there are so many good books out there that I’ve yet to read.”

“I can’t remember ever rereading a book. I probably should, but I have so many that aren’t read yet.”

“There are so many great new books to read, I have to keep up! I’ve discovered some of my favorite authors from the free book exchange hutches in my town.”

“My TBR list is too long for me to revisit books at the moment.”

“There’s so much to read, I can’t take the time. The same goes for movies — too many to watch to spend time rewatching ones I’ve already seen.”

“I don’t generally rewatch TV shows either. I don’t enjoy shows or books the second time around as much as I do the first time. I like reading and watching things where I don’t already know the ending.”

“If it’s a mystery, or has an unexpected ending, I won’t reread.”

“Sadly, I am not much of a reader.”

“I do not read any books at all!”

“Sometimes I reread the book I just read. I have dyslexia, and reading it again right away helps me pick up so much more of what I missed the first time around.”

“A wonderful book means revisiting a place I’ve loved (if only in my head). I don’t revisit often enough but love it when I do!”

“Earth Abides, and I benefit from its philosophy every time I peruse it.”

“Rereading a favorite book is like getting to hang out with an old friend.”

“I have a few that I reread every couple of years.”

“Stephen King is on repeat OFTEN — occasionally the Ann Rule collections.”

“I'm rereading my In Death series by J.D. Robb for the 3rd time!”

“I read LOTR about every 5–6 years. My retirement goal is to reread all 29 or so books in the Shannara series, and all the Wild Cards anthology books — around 25, I think.”

“I often reread Nicholas Sparks books. I'm also a big fan of series, so I read them all again whenever a new book gets added.”

“The Old Man and the Sea and Hatchet are my favorites! Haven’t read them in a few years, but I’m planning on it.”
