Charlie, you mentioned listening to the book a second time to pick up more. I was struck by how many extra things I have picked up just in going back to look up a particular passage, and if I can squeeze it in, intend rereading The Natural soon in the light of our discussion here.
It's the mark of a good book that there is something more to find each time you reread it. I'm not talking about what you might call comfort rereads, when you settle in with an old friend, but about this sort of book. It might not be comfortable and it isn't about people I would actually want to have as friends, but I have certainly got a lot out of reading it and our discussion.
