I have this ability to re-read books a ridiculous number of times. There's no limit on how many times, and I'll happily read stupidly long series again and again. I read Lord of the Rings for a fourth time over the summer, The Bartimaeus Trilogy again, I've read IT and The Stand about three times each. Same for The Dark Is Rising Sequence. I like to go and discover bits that I hadn't noticed before. You'd think I'd run out of stuff to notice on the fourth read but sometimes a plot point will just click and I'll go OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
