I read it every year or so for awhile. My "ex" and I even read it out loud to each other one year (a memory I cherish.) Then I might not pick it up again for years.

I got it out again after the announcement of the film came out, and enjoyed it every bit as thoroughly as I did the first time. But there have been times when I only went back and read "the good parts".

But then, I welcome re-reading favorite books, like meeting old friends. And believe me, not every book I have gets this honor!

I guess it depends on how you feel about re-reading books. Some people read a book once, then say "Been there, done that."
