A new study in the UK has found that a large portion of British readers return to their favorite books again and again. According to a recent story in the Guardian, “77% of UK readers revisit books they’ve enjoyed on first reading.”
Some other findings from the survey:
* 59% of readers never tire of their favorite characters.
* 34% of readers (or rereaders, rather) find they learn something new from each reading.
* The top three reread authors in England are JK Rowling, JRR Tolkien and Jane Austen.
