Carmel: Usually yes because without re-reading the entire book it’s hard to put a specific scene into context without the whole story. Also, when something’s “that good” it’s typically an indication that either the entire book or a good chunk of it is equally as awesome too. So why not enjoy the full experience instead of only a little snippet?
Sue: I only re-read the good parts that I find moving. I’m morbid because I bookmark the one’s that make me cry! I love me a good cry.
What about you?

Owner, designer and main blogger behind Rabid Reads. Avid book reader, snowboard bunny, video gamer and Supernatural fan. I love all things paranormal, werewolves especially. Oh, and I’m Canadian, eh!
I read cover to cover. I will skim through some parts sometimes.
I do a bit of both. Sometimes I just want the re-read specific scenes, if the book is still fresh, and other times I read the whole thing and remember just why I loved it!
I read it cover to cover whenever I read or reread a book I’m a bit OCD that way LOL!
Absolutely!
No never! I always just dive into the middle and read a bit, or just re-read my favourite bits again.
Sometimes I can be reading a book, remember a scene from another book, and have to go and look it up to re-read just that bit. Sometimes I just read the ending again, or just the beginning again.
I have too many new books to read to go and re-read old books cover to cover. Am I weird?!
@Melanie Fair enough. š
@jenn Good point!
@Carin Hehe yeah, I’m the same.
@Lisa Richards/alterlisa Short and sweet. š
@Sally@Always Lost in Stories Wow, you jump around a lot. How do you keep track of which book you’re reading? :p
When I re-read a book, I tend to read it cover to cover again. Often depending on what mood I am in, different parts will affect me in a different way.
The only time I read snippets of a book is if I have been thinking about a certain scene and want to relive only it. Most of the time though I will just re-read the entire book.
Mostly, yes; but when I reread Les Miserables, I confess I do skip the bit about Waterloo.
I usually have all of my favorite scenes marked in my favorite books, so I can usually get away with only reading certain parts.
