The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Do you re-read books?

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.
