While She Knits--Reprise Favorites?

[idiosyncreant.livejournal.com]

There are quite a few of us that had to read Queen of Attolia a second time before we could really think it was a good book, before we were converted about Irene really deserving Gen, or forgive MWT for what she did to him.
(My almost-14-y.o. sister's reading it for the first time *fingers crossed*)

This isn't the only book that takes acclimation, even revisiting to be appreciated. 

What books have affected you that way?
Any random stuff the principle applies to? 
(Fries with Ranch, a hit song, realizing that officer dude in Pirates of the Carribean was Prince Humperdink...heh)

I, for one, took an awful long time to truly value Magus Dahling...
