Lemmy, is there a treasured piece of content that you stop yourself from going back to "too often" so as to not dilute it? (lemm.ee)

I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I'm planning on watching Bo Burnham's Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn't really intending to wait *checks watch* nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a rewatch.

Anyone else treat certain pieces of media similarly?

For me it's books. I try not to read The Discworld series too often. Same thing with a few of my favourite books: Jane Eyre, Ivanhoe, Villette, etc. I also try to ensure a long enough gap (few years) between each read so that details of the books become a bit hazy in my mind and I can enjoy my read almost like the first time.

lol I can't. I have favorite series I go back to a couple times a year on audiobook.

I'm pretty sure I read everything Karen Rose has written at least 3 times last year, I read CJ Archer's Glass and Steele twice, and there are a bunch of others. Most TV shows I space out a bit though. (Except the Good Place. It's just so forking delightful.)
