Re: Re-reading

Are Sounisians re-readers?

I think we all know the answer to that question. I think its safe to say that most/all fans of MWT's books would have to be. But I know so many people who aren't re-readers. Which makes me think--

Why is that?
What makes re-reading a different experience from reading books only once?
Do re-readers only like certain kinds of books while read-only-once-ers like others? Or maybe they like them in different ways?
Do you feel that re-reading takes you away from reading and discovering new favorites, or is re-reading an old favorite better than taking a chance on a new one?


Any thoughts or discussion on re-reading (or re-re-re-re-re-reading ;-) welcome here, even if its not a direct answer to any of the questions above. :-)




Oh, and in case anyone hadn't noticed... I'M BACK. I MISSED YOU GUYS!

We are slackers. Slackers! Unworthy fans!

I was just poking around in Chatzy trying to find something I thought I remembered posting there. And I discovered that in the last two years we've managed to log only 53 pages - and of those, only about 11 are from the past year.

Eleven pages in a year! For pity's sake, we used to burn through that much in a good weekend!

Shame on us! Shame shame shame!

We haven't had an official chat in a while. Anybody want to meet in Chatzy, say, Saturday morning US time, which would be Saturday afternoon UK time? If we went for, oh, 10 a.m. Eastern, which would be 9 a.m. Central? Which would, I think, be 4 p.m. UK time?
