[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, sometimes. I tend to reread big sweeping epics and find that I catch stuff I missed on the first try around. Usually I appreciate books more with a reread; eg LOTR, Russian classics like Anna Karenina, Hyperion (Dan Simmons), and Kristin Lavransdatter. The exception to this is Mists of Avalon. I read it first in HS and LOVED it. I then reread it in my 30s and was surprised to find how it really hadn’t aged well. I found myself exasperated by certain characters’ motivations and actions, and horrified by others. Things that I’d overlooked when I was younger got under my skin with the reread. [/quote] There's something interesting in the discovery that's worthwhile - that you've changed and that society has changed. It's helpful to reflect on that too help realize that we'll still change going forward.[/quote]
