This is just in my head, right? If I didn't already know the characters beforehand, I wouldn't be thinking the little details are hamfisted? Mentally I'm like "we already know this character is a vapid shithead, we don't need this information", but that's just my bias as someone who already knows, right?
This can become a concern to me in my own writing, in that I'm automatically biased to knowing my characters, but the reader doesn't. I suppose finding the good level of detail is where the magic is, though.

I literally won't be rereading books until I've exhausted the Western canon.
Too many good books, too little time.

I reread books I read when I was younger (e.g. a child or a teen) or just for that comfy feel.
Some books are just worth reading again. Reading isn't like collecting pokemon. Or maybe it is in the sense that some books are Jolteons, and others are Weedles.

Sauce, OP?
