Your post says more about you than anything else.

Your post suggests a lack of IQ. But we knew that.

I re-read books regularly. The reason I have them in my collection in the first place is that I enjoy them so much that I want to enjoy them again.

It doesn't matter that the story is familiar and I may know 'roughly' how it finishes. It's the experience of re-living the story that counts at the time.

It's the same with DVD's. Mr Kathywoolfe and I have established a Christmas tradition in that we watch all 3 extended versions of the LOTR films in a single sitting (so to speak). I still find myself moved by the same scenes as I did when I first watched them (e.g. the death of Boromir and his reconciliation with Aragorn at the end of the first film) so when that happens you know that the story still has power over you. When I come to the point when that sort of effect doesn't happen then I would stop reading/watching it.

Naw .. you can't take this off topic into film... we are talking specifically about reading books - where you form the images in your own head whist reading rather than viewing someone else interpretation of wot de awfur wrote. rewatching a film relies more on visual effects than a captivating storyline

Sensible answers only (sorry sas) by return please

I generally read trashy Science Fiction books. Not a huge fan of non fiction. I generally get bored. I do like historical novels however and love reading about the Napoleonic wars (Bolitho, Kydd , Sharpe etc etc)... other historical novels are good too.
