Oh, yes! I'm a big re-reader of books I like too! That's the best thing about having a 'sick-day' in bed! I can get through (re-reading) about 2-3 novels in a day. (Nothing else to do, but be sickly so the distraction helps!) But mainly, I like to take my time over a good book the first time through. Sort of savor it, especially if the writing is exceptional, and I usually make sure it will be before I even start reading any book! Why waste your time, otherwise.
I guess what I don't understand is this new 'signature' thing some people have about HOW MANY books they've already read so far--like it's a RACE, or something......? A competition. What does it matter? And how can you enjoy any book when you're more worried about hurrying through it? Just so you can say you read, 'such-and-such'--? So what! If it's a modern author who churns 'em out--- Big deal! How is that accomplishing anything? I just don't get it....... call me lost and bewildered, but I thought reading was a personal communication with one's own brain and emotions (if the book is good enough to affect them!) NOT a speed trial!!
