The Rory Gilmore Book Club discussion

depends which book, sometimes I reread my favorites

i have never reread a book mainly because i'm afraid i won't like it as much as i did the first time i read it. i think the only book i'm able to reread forever and ever is Pride and Predjudice by Jane Austen

Yess I always re read my fave books such as the summer I turned pretty or the shatter me books!! I find a lot of comfort in it as I don’t need to pay as much attention as the first time and I can always skip to fave scenes. Also sometimes you notice more foreshadowing or hints in the book when you already know what’s going to happen <3

i would love to, but it’s never the same when you reread it. less life to it??

depends on the book but I've reread multiple of my fav books, actually im rereading agatha christie's books rn

rarely! some faves from childhood or particular times in my life I revisit, mostly I enjoy newness

I do! Once I really enjoy a book, it becomes a 'comfort' to me and I like to re-read for that feeling haha

I almost never reread books

No. Literally never

yessss,all the time, I have my stack of comfort books :")

my comfort book that I always go back to is howls moving castle by dianna wynn jones :D

I usually don't but only the books I absolutely loved and not the whole book. Just some of the scenes.

YESSS If I love the story I totally do cause I’m also not over it and want to go back to it

it depends, if I don't have any new books to read yes

I think it depends on the book. Most classics you have to read twice because nobody can understand the full message by reading it once.
Another reason to reread a book after a couple of years is to interpret the literature with the life experience you earned in the past. I will see other interesting things in the book you might not recognized the first time

i loove rereading books but only those i enjoyed of course!

only my favs

Absolutely yes. But I do the same with shows & movies that I love. I'll wait a while (typically at least a year) but I like revisiting favorites. That's how I know I really enjoyed something, if I want to re-experience it later.

I looove rereading books all my 5 star books, because then I catch all the little details I've missed, the foreshadowing done, all the hints dropped. It makes me love the book even more. I only buy paperbacks of books that Ive reread and still love :")

yes yes yes, mostly when i love a book and want a refresher

sometimes when i used to love a book and forget the plot

Yes - those that I love, usually every couple of years.

No. I'd love to, but there's too many books that need my attention more. :D

I’ve only ever reread one book, and it was because I wanted to read the sequel and I couldn’t remember what had happened. And I feel like Rory rereads books a lot, and she has one or two that she’s always rereading!

No, I never reread books. There are just too many other books that I want to read

When I don’t have access to new books I tend to reread from my personal library

I don’t reread books in their entirety. I usually reread sections of books that I really enjoyed. I notice I mostly pick back up romance books as well.

I’ve recently started. I was big on No but my comfort series books I will. Like Harry Potter or the Sookie Stackhouse series. Mainly because they are both quick reads and I really enjoyed. Plus the Sookie Stackhouse series has so many books I really forget all the details. So after a few years I’m ready to reread because I forget.

I retead certain books as a sort of „tradition“ for example in November/ December I always read harry potter:)

absolutely… i saw a magnet that said “books are a present you can open again and again” and nothing’s ever been truer
