Don't reread...reread.<br /><br />I enjoy rereading. It can be like reading again for the first time and if the book is good enough you can reread for the first time even if you do remember it. <br /><br />How many times have you listened to the same song over and over? How many times have you watched a movie or television program again? You'll never live long enough to see every movie/television show ever made or listen to every song ever recorded. <br /><br />So go ahead...read Harry Potter (or whatever) again. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121646009572423296.post-20281159765904305452010-06-02T10:19:06.248-04:002010-06-02T10:19:06.248-04:00I had a similar conversation with this book, but m...I had a similar conversation with this book, but my answer to this statement went differently:<br /><br />NH: "Poetry books work more like books of reference: They go up on the shelves straight away (as opposed to onto the bedside table), to be taken down and dipped into every now and again." (19)<br /><br />Poetry books are great bedside table reading because they can be read slowly, loudly, softly, and prepare you for dreams you never imagined having without them. They should be read nightly, not shelved.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121646009572423296.post-36344679760029476752010-05-31T14:16:15.793-04:002010-05-31T14:16:15.793-04:00lol - I had the exact same kind of conversation wi...lol - I had the exact same kind of conversation with him in my head as I read this and his other essay books.
