You could go to see a movie once in the theater, and the next weekend it would be gone forever, replaced by another movie. If you missed a television show, you waited six months for a rerun, and then that show was most likely gone forever. There was no cable, no internet, and no smart phones. But books?

Or because it was raining outside and the electricity went out, and there was nothing else to do. But in these modern times, there are other reasons to read a book more than once. Even with so many other forms of entertainment, even when there are so many books out there that it’s impossible to read them all (and I’ve just added to the glut, putting my ONE...

Reading a book twice can offer valuable benefits and insights that may not be fully grasped upon the initial read. Here are some reasons why people should consider reading books twice: Reading a book for the second time allows for a deeper comprehension of the content, themes, and nuances that may have been missed on the first read. Returning to a book can deepen your appreciation for the author’s writing style, character development, and plot intricacies.

With each read, readers can uncover new layers of meaning, symbolism, and connections that enhance their overall understanding of the book. [email protected] Some books are just too good not to reread several times. My current favorite is Rosamunde Pilcher's "Winter Solstice." I have read the book four times now, and even purchased the book on tape, as I love hearing the story as I commute! Each winter, I try to reread all of Jane Austen --- her books are such rich tapestries of life. Each reading uncovers a new delight, a new detail I hadn't noticed before, some cozy line that clings to my mind! Books that can be reread over and over again become part of our lives and true classics!

What a visionary....what a genius, and it just so happens that he and I are both graduates of CCNY (City College of NY). A book has to be very special for me to reread it.

An incredible work of literature. It's better every time I read it. [email protected] WRITING DOWN THE BONES, by Natalie Goldberg. Whenever I hit a "dry spell" as a writer, Natalie inspires me.
