I have felt this feeling may be a couple of times in my life (obviously, life till now :D ).
The feeling goes some thing like this:
As soon as I start reading a book - it kind of looks familiar. I have definitely read the book earlier. Each event feels like you have read it before. Some part of my brain known the story completely: but is teasing with rest of the head and not opening the unread part.
I keep reading on and as soon as the mystery reveals, the knowing part jests with the dumb part. May be they share a chuckle and I then read on.This goes on for pages and pages/chapters and chapters. I enjoy this game as much as I enjoy the original story line. It adds a lot of spice and color to an already engrossing book.
I am currently having the same feeling re-reading Solaris by Stanislav Lem. I had definitely liked the book earlier. With this private game being played in my head now: I like it even better the second time. Especially the way Lem has handled the mystery: it adds even more intrigue.
This whole process gives my real good high, a purer high than the recently-legalized substances :). I really love this private kick that I get (private only till now. Now the inter-tubes know of this!!). Here is to read more about the book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95558.Solaris
