I am mostly safe when rereading L'Engle because I perform some sort of mental timeslip where I mostly read them the *same way* I read them over and over again as a child... the only thing that brings me out of such books is the "oh THAT'S where I got that idea" flash.

You find yourself at different times in your life. On my last rereading Walden, which I always claimed was one of my favorite books, I discovered an irritating arrogance in Thoreau that I had somehow just accepted before. I still agreed with many of his points, but I did not like his assumption that anyone who disagreed was ignorant, evil, or both. I wondered what I was like when I first read Thoreau.
