I'm not sure if you're just waxing poetic or actually can't bring yourself to finish, but I'd highly recommend you do. As Calvino points out in "Why Read the Classics?" [0]
>Hence, whether we use the verb “read” or the verb “reread” is of little importance. Indeed, we may say:
>Every rereading of a classic is as much a voyage of discovery as the first reading.
> Every reading of a classic is in fact a rereading.
Definition 4 may be considered a corollary of this next one:
> A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.
