Questions & Answers about Я перечитал это место в книге ещё раз.
Перечитал means reread or read again.
The prefix пере- often adds the idea of doing something again. So:
- читать = to read
- прочитать = to read through, to finish reading
- перечитать = to reread
In this sentence, Я перечитал... tells us the speaker read that part again, and also presents it as a completed action.
Because перечитал is perfective, it sounds like: I reread it (and finished rereading it).
This is an aspect question.
- перечитал = perfective, completed action
- перечитывал = imperfective, process / repeated activity / background action
So:
- Я перечитал это место... = I reread this passage / I went back and reread it
- Я перечитывал это место... = I was rereading this passage or I used to reread this passage
In your sentence, the speaker is talking about one finished action, so перечитал is the natural choice.
