I didn't become an avid reader until a few years ago (in my mid-twenties). Since then I've been interested in reading as much fiction as I can and haven't bothered to read a novel a second time. Even with one I really enjoyed. I just didn't want to take time out from reading things I hadn't read before to go over a novel a second time.
Oddly, I don't currently have anything on my reading list that is jumping out at me so I decided to start reading Don DeLillo's The Names again this morning. So far I'm really enjoying the second round and now I'm thinking I should re-read good novels more often.
How often do you re-read a novel compared to reading work you've never touched before?
