Yes

Like you, Kurt, I have many books in my home library that I have yet to read. I have a growing list of books I want to buy and, I am a slow reader. I also love children's books. As for re-reads and re-viewings:

BOOKS
"The Catcher in the Rye," J.D. Salinger
"Eloise at Christmastime," Hillary Knight (illustrator)
"The Lonely Doll," Dare Wright

SHORT STORY
"Desiree's Baby," Kate Chopin

MOVIES
"The Banger Sisters" (I watched this several times a week during the last weeks of my mother's earthly life.)
"Rachel Getting Married"
"The World of Henry Orient"

DOCUMENTARY FILM
"Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story" (I discovered this while surfing Hulu. I've watched in more than a half-dozen times.)

TELEVISION
"Charlie Rose" - Charlie's interview of Norris Church Mailer" on her latest book, "A Ticket to the Circus." I found something soothing about the sound and rhythm of Ms. Mailer's voice.

Why do I reread or re-watch the above? I suppose because I see (visualize or hear) some aspect of myself in the characters or situations depicted, and therefore, in some way, feel a sense of validation which, in turn, creates a grounding emotional satisfaction, a sense of calm and an injection of inspiration - feelings that occur too infrequently in my daily personal interactions.
