On rare occasions, no YA books unless I’m reading them to a kid. I’m not going to reread the The Chronicles of Narnia either. I haven’t read Harry Potter because it came out when I was in college but I don’t believe from what I know that there is enough substance to Harry Potter to make me want reread them if I had.
I read about a book every week and am in multiple book clubs and have a huge list of books to read so going back and reading fluff from when I was a kid is not going to make the cut because I am an adult. The point I made is about actual literacy though, if you are just rereading the same books and not engaging with the wide variety of works and authors through time you aren’t really exercising your literacy muscles. I loved the Hitchhikers Guide series too, but I already read it and probably won’t read it again. There are more books to read than I have life to live.
You never read a book more than once?
