A book you hated in your high school English class can read as brilliant when read at 30.  Books that were high literature when you were 21 read now self-important pablum.  The words on the page may not have changed, but how you read them certainly has.

Only requirement for a book to meet this challenge is that the last time you read it is 5+ years ago.
