My dad is a biggest book lover you would find, but he rarely re-reads. Nevertheless, he would never EVER throw a book out. On the other hand, I have plenty of friends who dont read books at all, let alone re-read then - wouldn't expect them to understand why i seem to always have an odd copy of a, say, Ray Bradbury book on my bedside table along with thatever i am reading now.
In fact, sometimes i'd rather re-read than make an effort to read a new book - not a particularly good thing.
Phew, hope i made sense there!  |
AH, yes, I see what you mean now. I was reading it in a different way.
And for Dennis, yes I love to re-listen to music, but I guess for me that is a very different experience than re-reading a novel. I really don't get the same feeling at all from the two. I do see your analogy though.
