I very rarely reread anything - I have so much new stuff I want to read that reading something I've already read seems like a ludicrous indulgence - but it something I kind of wish I did more of. It's obviously something Jo Walton gets a lot out of,judging by What Makes This Book So Great? and I don't have quite so much faith in the integrity of my memory as I used to have when I was young. There are certainly some classics I regard highly which I feel I ought to reread with older eyes. And I must be keeping all these books for a reason.

I will probably be joining you in this challenge, but I want to think about the books I want to read, and check if I still own them, before I commit myself.
