As a teen, I reread Lloyd Alexander's series of five books based on Welsh legends, which starts with The Book Of Three. I recently reread A Year in Provence because I was wondering if my son would enjoy it, and I had forgotten much of the detail. I probably learned the habit from my grandmother, who reread Jane Austen almost daily. She had copies by her bed that were held together with clothespins. Every time I reread Pride and Prejudice I feel close to her. My children frequently reread their favorites--they say they like rereading at bedtime b/c they know when anything upsetting or scary might be coming up. Rather like a favorite blanket.
