Yeah, I'm like that too
I enjoy rereading favourite books, and favorite parts of books. Like the end of Bujold's Cryoburn, with a nice relaxed garden scene giving us a glimpse of a hopeful future for some of the protagonists, or the beginning of Charles' The Magpie Lord, where protagonist A meets protagonist B for the first time and thinks "He was incredibly unimpressive" (spoiler: looks are deceiving). I especially like rereading authors who do neat things with language, like Charles: "He strolled to a conclusion, as he hardly needed to jump."

I find graphic novels harder to read than just text, for some reason. I have the complete Paper Girls. The plot, world and characters are interesting, and I like the drawing style, but I've only read the first (of 6) albums. (It's time travel/SF starting in the 1980s, and I especially like the 1980s part.)
