Simple question...but do you re-read books? How often?  And any particular books that you tend to re-read more than once?

I definetly re-read books.  As often as I possibly can, I do a sort of loop with the books. I re-read LOTR annually, it is a sort of tradition.  There are other books too but they aren't a traditional thing.

Yes sometimes. If my memory fails on me with regard to the story of the book, I will reread it... If people are creating a film of said book, I'll reread it.

I do re-read some works. I remember I read A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich four times.

There are some books that I have read twice. There are many books where I reread certain passages.

I re-read books, but only if I really like them and want to read it again, or if I forget what happens.

Only fiction books.  The other stuff I read gets obsolete so fast it would be a waste of my time to reread most of them.

I tend to re-read books that I enjoyed, but haven't read in the past year or two.  Or in the case of Jurassic Park which I read anytime I can't think of anything else that I want to read.

I re-read books quite a lot. 'Battle Royale' and 'Last of the Mohicans' are books I can read several times a year and not get bored of.
