Rereading a favorite novel first read 5, 10, or 20 years ago, is a measure of our travel, how far we’ve come; it’s a way of visiting an earlier self Picture Quote #1
Someone once said that middle age is like rereading a book that you haven’t read since you were a callow youth. The first time around you were dazzled by impressions, emotions, and tended to miss the finer points. In middle age you have the equipment to see the subtleties you missed before and you savor it more slowly Picture Quote #1
There’s a paradox in rereading. You read the first time for rediscovery: an encounter with the confirming emotions. But you reread for discovery: you go to the known to figure out the workings of the unknown, the why of the familiar how Picture Quote #1
I’ve been rereading your story. I think it’s about me in a way that might not be flattering, but that’s okay. We dream and dream of being seen as we really are and then finally someone looks at us and sees us truly and we fail to measure up. Anyway: story received, story included. You looked at me long enough to see something mysterioso under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks. Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them Picture Quote #1
Rereading A. J. Liebling carries me happily back to an age when all good journalists knew they had plenty to be modest about, and were Picture Quote #1
In December 2008, I had the book with me while we waited for Dr. O'Reilly. Mom had already finished it. Every time I put the book down to go grab some mocha, or check my email, or make a call, I returned to find Mom rereading it, sneakily wolfing down passages as though I'd left behind a bag of cookies, not a book, and she was scooping up crumbs behind my back Picture Quote #1

I’m always nervous about going home, just as I am nervous about rereading books that have meant a lot to me Picture Quote #1
A classic is a book which with each rereading offers as much of a sense of discovery as the first reading Picture Quote #1
When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want? Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn’t they matter most now? Picture Quote #1
Though my short stories are the more readable, my novels do have more to say; and they will, if anyone has the patience for it, repay a rereading Picture Quote #1
A lot of times, when I go back to books I loved when I was young, I don’t quite understand what it was that I loved about them. Rereading ‘The Secret Garden,’ I felt a lot like Mary feels when she visits her garden Picture Quote #1
We are not telling Tudor history; we are creating ‘ Wolf Hall ‘ from novels, which are already a rereading of Tudor history Picture Quote #1

What a person loves at 20 may seem stupid at 35. That doesn’t mean the book was stupid, it means that the time when it spoke to the reader is past. So . . . I’m cautious about rereading favorite books. I hate to spoil the good feelings they created. Keeping the good feelings is more important than rereading the book. Moving on is a good thing Picture Quote #1
Sometimes you buy a book, powerfully drawn to it, but then it just sits on the shelf. Maybe you flick through it, the ghost of your original purpose at your elbow, but it’s not so much rereading as re-dusting. Then one day you pick it up, take notice of the contents; your inner life realigns Picture Quote #1
The things I keep going back to, rereading, maybe they say more about me as a reader than about the books. Love in the Time of Cholera, Pale Fire Picture Quote #1
The art (as opposed to the technology) of reading requires that you develop a beautiful tolerance for incomprehension. The greatest books are the books that you come to understand more deeply with time, with age and with rereading Picture Quote #1
