For many books that I find myself thinking about for years, or just that I enjoyed very much, I will revisit them later. They can be very revealing in how my perspective has changed or that I'll identify with completely different characters, or be awed by a passage that my earlier self overlooked. Several that come to mind are Heart of Darkness Moby Dick Robinson Crusoe Pretty much any Chekhov story Cathedral by Raymond Carver
