Reading a book at 20, then again at 50, then again at 80 will hit very differently. I’m not yet 50 but I’m rereading books that already feel like an entirely new experience. The Hitchhiker trilogy is one example. I’m more ready to sympathize with Arthur than I was the first time around.
Probably.
But idk… Reading a book that you planned to read like 60 years ago when you were much different seems cool to me

I reread Pratchett’s Night Watch every couple of years and it’s different every time. Ditto Nation.
