I’ve seen a quote that life’s too short to read the same book twice, but I don’t buy it. Books are precious. I don’t have much money and the ones I buy are the good ones, and I’ll usually read a library book twice before taking it back (I do read an average-sized book in 2-3 hours). There are books I read every year. And yes, there are plenty I couldn’t tell you a thing about. Read them, concentrated on it, maybe read it again right off- love to read a good book seeing how they worked in things that mean so much more when you kow the ending. I’ve read all the Jane Austin books several times and can’t remember one plot from the others in a pinch, and I enjoyed them. I just have read so many books things get tangled up in my head…
