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)

Red Scarf Girl which is a memoir about a girl’s experience during the Cultural Revolution in China. Read it in school when I was 10 (about same age as the girl). I just thought it was so sad. Read it again when I was 24 and made me better understand what my parents went through

That sounds wrenching. Also excellent!
