BTW: How do you folks keep track of book's you've read. I was thinking of getting a Groqit ( http://www.groqit.com/) but it won't work well with eBooks. |
I have seen it argued that re-reading a book is a totally different activity then reading it for the first time. But I think that mostly applies when you read things deeply. I reread and the experience is a bit different but not so much. The experience is very similar to reading the book the first time so if it was a very good bok that you enjoyed very much the first time than it is definitely worth rereading.
I have an SGML file that is my book register and where I note down when I read a book. So I know how many times I have read each book I have or have borrowed. I started writing down what I read 1979 just when I started reading non-juvenile books.
