I doubt if I shall ever have time to read the book again - there are too many new ones coming out all the time which I want to read. Yet an old book has something for me which no new book can ever have - for at every reading the memories and atmosphere of other reading come back and I am reading old years as well as an old book.

I should make more time for rereading.....but there are just so many new (to me) books that I want to get to.
I'll re-read books. Sometimes even books I read as a child. And doing so brings back that "me."
I'm a reluctant rereader. With all the old books I haven't read yet, and all the new ones coming out, I already feel behind. It's funny how rereads often change how I feel about a book or character . . . sometimes of the better, and sometimes not.
I like re-reading books, but only after quite a long gap, usually - at least three years. I try to make time to re-read a handful of books each year. And with re-reads because you know how it ends, you can concentrate on absorbing more of the details as the story proceeds.
Yes, that's one thing I do like about rereads is that I can concentrate on details that I might have missed the first time around.
with so many to read and reread, it's a wonder i have time to write, or do anything else, for that matter
now i have a dog again, HE motivates me to take care of his needs... first! lol
I know! It's a crying shame there aren't more hours in a day.
