Books that got better as you got older?

Sort of related: over the last couple of years I have noticed that I am able to get a lot more out of books, music, movies, etc. Even stuff that isn't really difficult to comprehend, I find that I am picking up things I would never have noticed before.

I am not sure whether it is a result of reading more or just growing older in general

Ulysses, though I don't know if it's maturity and understanding or just more familiarity with the work.
