Examples of books (or stories) that you reread years later, & found to be much better? For me: Arrival (Ted Chiang, loved it even the first time); Speaker for the Dead (ditto: loved it at first, even more upon reread); the Great Gatsby (didn't like first time, loved the second)

The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a very different book as a teenager than as an adult with some experience with adversity. I've also found that I appreciate CS Lewis's non-fiction writing a lot more now.

I've found the same with Lewis's essays. Never read tDoII.

The Inner Ring, in particular, is one of the most profoundly insightful pieces I've ever read about human psychology.

Yes. It's also made a big difference in my life.
