What book could you read over and over again?
The simple answer to this is none. There isn’t a book in this world I could read over and over. I don’t even think I can ready any more than once unless I have completely forgotten that I read it to begin with. Reading requires focused attention and that means that the moment my brain recognizes the story and knows the outcome, it nopes right out the focus. Same thing happens when I watch certain movies or TV shows more than once. The difference with those and the ones that I can watch repeatedly is that they allow for split focus. Even new tv shows or movies are hard if the trope is predictable. It’s just not enjoyable and I will tune it out or off.
I don’t think I’m missing out though? If you read something repeatedly, please enlighten me on what you get out of it.

I have read a few a second time but it is usually years later and some parts I forget.
I wish I could forget like that lol. Sometimes I forget if I’ve read a book but the moment I start reading it, the words are familiar and my brain just says we’ve done this no reason to do it again
