For myself, I wish I could read *Happiness^tm* by Will Ferguson again without knowing what was coming. It’s one of my favourite books, and I still enjoy re-reading it, but knowing the ending just colours the rest of the book so much that it’s never going to be the same experience again. It’s still funny and ridiculous, it’s still exciting to read, but my heart breaks too soon by knowing what is coming.
There are a lot of books I wish I could erase the knowledge of before re-reading. Even a book you really enjoy can bring a sense of wistfulness when you know what’s coming.
