Today’s prompt is what book could I read over and over again? A few years ago, I was really into reading. I had this goal in mind of reading all the classics and then some. My Goodreads list was massive and some years I read over a hundred books. Unfortunately, a lot of things happened, and I’ve never really returned to my normal self, and maybe never will. I have started reading more lately though, and I’m picking up speed, mostly in the mystery thriller genre. I think this is rapidly becoming my favorite type of book.
To answer the question, I usually don’t read a book twice. My goal has always been to read as many different books as possible, not continually re-read the same ones. It’s the same way with movies. I will very rarely re-watch a movie on purpose. Lately though, there have been a few books that have made me reconsider the idea of read once and discard. I don’t think it would be as good as the first time, since I know the ending, but I sometimes think I might pick up on something new the second time around. I think this is because the first few chapters are not strong for me, since I’m just getting to know the characters. After I know them well, the book becomes way more interesting. I guess that’s true of people also.
I would say most of the books I have read recently would be worth re-reading, if I had the time. Unfortunately, time is always in short supply, and I would prefer to focus on new material. If you want to read my review of these recent books, and the review of any future books, you can go to a special page I set up to collect all my book reviews. There will probably be more to come.
Are there any books you have read many times? Do you have any reading goals? What is your favorite book genre? Do you have any new book suggestions? Let me know in the comments, and please remember to like, share, and subscribe!
