I have to admit to using LOTR mainly as a reference work these days but having recently got it on my kindle I have started a proper readthrough and I keep noticing things that seem new. Now it could be my memory is hoong but I have had a similar experience rereading The Forsyte Chronicles on kindle which is a series I have loved almost as long and have read many times always straoght through.

I sispect I have never reaf the verso pages as closely as the recto having the bad habit of folding back paperbacks. Since I also now have a hardback edition I will see if reading that provides the same discoveries.
