Should You Re-Read Books From Your Past or Focus on New Books?

Описание: I love experiencing a book for the first time. There’s the rush of discovering a new story, an intoxicating idea, or a memorable character. By the time I’ve finished the book, I’m ready to get that hit again with a new book. I actually fear the high won’t be as good if I go back and read a book for a second time, even if it’s a book I really enjoyed.


But that’s not how books work. Re-reading a book creates a new experience, not a recreation of the first reading. I’ve changed during readings. Life experience clues me into things I missed the first time around. I’m reminded of people, places, and things that stuck out the first time that made an indelible mark on my life.


Many experiences in life can deteriorate with continued exposure. Reading a great book multiple times over the years is not one of those experiences.


What I hope to do in this podcast episode is to encourage you begin re-reading certain books as part of your reading life.
