This is what I do, though sometimes it's a second pass over a passage that I want to savor or really focus deeply on.
- noir_lord 7y agoSimilar to re-reading a passage I go back and re-read books I really like 3-4 times (and a few many more than that). I've read all of the Discworld novels at least 3 times and a few like Hogfather more than a dozen (I re-read it ever Christmas). Reading is one of lives truly great pleasures and it's one of lifes most democratic.
