TOPIC | Rereading: A Waste Of Time?
1 2 3 4
So it has been about a year and a half since I read this one book... and I am thinking of rereading it. But, I have already read it, so nothing would be a surprise and I know what will happen. However, many seem to enjoy rereading! So my mind is considering doing the same. But, what would be the purpose? Why reread when you have already read it before? Especially if you are like me and take literally forever to read a book.

sometimes i just do it when i have nothing else to read or it was a really good story and i wanna relive it, kinda. it's your choice, but i would recommend it if you loved the book. after all, you can stop reading it at any time~

I started reading Wings of Fire in like... January of 2017, and I just now picked it up again, and I plan on re-reading each book, starting with the earliest chronological book. I am bad at retaining small details, so I actually forgot how some stuff went down so it's very entertaining to remember stuff.

If you want to read it again, go for it! Guaranteed you'll be reading and you'll find something you forgot or didn't even catch the first time. That is if you're like me lol.

it's great to reread because now that you're familiar with the plot and the characters, you might notice things that you didn't before, and you'll get a deeper understanding of the story ^^ plus if it's something that you genuinely enjoy, then it wouldn't really be a waste of time

Oh awesome lol, then I guess I'm in the same situation as you since I started my re-read with Darkstalker lol. And I completely forgot everything about Fathom somehow, and also the climax? Idk how that happened, but yeah I'm glad I picked it up again. It's just as good the second time!

but you've probably forgotten a lot of stuff in it, so it wouldn't be a waste to read it to remember all those things

That book left such a huge impact I remember most of it, but it'd be nice to really focus and analyze the characters. But... that freakin book.... I never thought a book could leave such an impact, and it is amazing!
