Repetition

            So some people say why should you read books more than once? Like what is the point of reading a book multiple times since you already know everything that happens? I enjoy reading books multiple times, not like back to back though.

            I have re-read multiple books and book series because I just love the story like I can’t even count the number of times I read Dark Visions by L.J. Smith I just absolutely love that book. The reason I like to re-read a book is the first thing is I really enjoyed the book the first time and I think that if I read it again I’ll enjoy it even more the second time. My second reason for re-reading a book I have already read is you get more details from the second or more times you read it than the first time reading it; I can’t say the number of times that I read a book and I forgot a part that wasn’t in the book before, so by reading it more times I can remember more of the details. Not only do you get more details, but when you’re reading it the first time you don’t know what happens at the end, and a lot of books end up foreshadowing and when re-reading it you can see all the places in the book where you should have realized what the ending was going to be.

            I just like re-reading books some people say it’s a waste of time if you’ve already read it, but I don’t think so. Especially, re-read a book or series if the movie is coming out soon and you read it a while ago, re-reading will jog your memory and have you all pumped up for the movie. So I just think that people should re-read books because of that as my main reasons.

            Another thing is when reading the second or more times you can pay more attention to the vocabulary and word choice and it will help expand your vocabulary, or if you don’t know what a word means you can go look it up in a dictionary since you won’t be as eager to read the book since you already know what happens, it will just help you overall. Also I like to do a fun thing where I edit the book and see how many mistakes I can find in the book overall (usually I find a lot). But overall I just think re-reading books is a good idea and people should do since they will get more from the book the second time than the first time they read it.
