I'm really depressed and confused at how little I re-read but then you do have instances where a beloved favorite turns out to be horribly sexist or racist or all around irritating. Narnia is a favorite series of mine but it has its problems on many levels - I just try not to think about it too deeply so I can still try and enjoy them.
