: Re: What Can Ensure Re-Readability? I've come across some answers and questions on this site which have gotten me thinking about re-readability. It isn't something that I think about much, but now

I think a lot of people are hitting it on the head with the whole experience vs mystery solved situation solved. It's hard to watch something again after you know the mystery. The suspense loses it's edge, and many of the tricks used to keep people reading to find out more will have been spent for a second go through. In situations like this, you may want to look at something as Mark was saying about if you create a good mystery book, people will want to read more stories you did.

In terms of a story, I can't say that I have re-read any book I have come across, but I have re-watched some movies Hundreds (literally) of times. I would think that this is comparable because they both tell a story through a different medium. There are plenty of movies that after watching it, I really didn't find any desire to watch again. It was a good movie, but the experience wasn't one that when I see the title again, I go OOO that was good let me watch it again. Movies that are rewatched bring you into their world and help you to experience a great tale. I would think this sentiment applies too to books.

In the end, a story is a journey through someone's fantasy that they want to share with you (assuming it is a fantasy/fiction story). If it's enjoyable, they will want to relive that fantasy over and over again.
