How has your reading changed?

[Lathriel]

When I first read LOTR I also just read it for the plot. Since then I have actually become more interested in characters than what happens in the book. Right now I am in a phase where I don't always care for the plot as long as the characters are well thought-out and interesting.
So now when I re-read LOTR I don't really rush through it because I feel that if I do I will miss a whole bunch of things; besides I am not in a hurry since I know the story. I prefer to read slowly thus finding a new detail every time I read it.
Also as I matured to my current age (since I still have some more growing up to do, 18 doesn't mean you are a complete adult) different details seemed to pop out at me or different aspects of the story.
I know some people who can't stand re-reading a book but then they probably haven't used the right books to try it with. However, I am convinced that most people who liked this book, even of they aren't big fans (like us) will re-read it again one day.
