I can empathize with you on this. Haven't read any books, or more precisely novels, twice myself, but I frequently read short stories two or more times as I come across them in anthologies. It's surprising how you can enjoy them all over again especially if you don't recall all the specifics. However I've decided to skip Murray Leinster's "First Contact" if I ever come face to face with it again as the punch has now lost its fizz. Poems, too, I like to read over and over. There are some books I'd like to read again, books I read thirty, forty years ago just to see if they're as good as I remember them.
