The Rewards of Re-Reading
According to Seltzer, each subsequent read provides the opportunity to take in more of the story and appreciate the author’s craft in a new way. It also gives us a chance to reflect on our personal growth:
Re-reading offers something that few other cultural experiences do, really: a mix of gentle stability and sharp new insight…Taking the time to re-experience the art we loved best in our past can be a way of spending time with ourselves, and though its rewards are mostly unseen, that may make them all the more important to seek out.
