Well, I've lost count on how many times I've re-read Fool's Fate completely or in parts, but there are still sequences in it that make me laugh and cry - every time. Even when I consciously think of what is going to happen "next".
It also happens to me often when I'm reading a new (to me) story by Hobb/Lindholm that I have to put the book down for a couple of minutes ([[Cloven Hooves]]) or even for days ([[Shaman's Crossing]]) because it's affecting my mood too much and I need to get something else to think about or I'll dive too deep into the story.
It's scary.
