Actually, this is a pet peeve of mine. I swear that HALF the fiction books
I read suffer from this problem. They repeat a particular paragraph of
exposition, or have a minor character exchange repeated in different parts
of the book. I know it is just an editing problem, where cool bits of fluff
are accidentally inserted into the story multiple times.
