The First Time a Second Time?

Booking Through thursday asks:

What book would you love to be able to read again for the first time?

None. That's not how I approach books. If I really like a book I don't want to read it again as if it was new. I want to read it again knowing what I know so I can then pick up things I missed the first time. If I was still reading it like it was the first time I'd never pick up those things.
