Sounds Crazy Right?

Cannot upvote this enough. Also, some days I don't want to keep reading dark m****r mysteries and want a bit of fluff literature instead. Or a new book drops. Or STFU and live your own life.

And yet, instead of reading all those new books I want to read, I find myself rereading the same old favorites that I've loved for years.

And we'll re-read it again and again over the years and cry every time. A certain scene in one of Stephen King's Dark Tower books comes to mind for me. I know the moment is coming, I know it's happening, but I'll bawl every time anyway.

When we retired, we searched for a small rural town to retire to. One of the attractions where we selected is that the library had a huge large print section.

I Rate Books On How It Made Me Feel Btw
LakotaWolf (she/her) 14 hours ago
Gentle disagree to a certain extent - I've read some really well-written books, and that makes it difficult to read the poorly-written ones sometimes. I get yanked out of my immersion constantly by poor wording or really poor sentence structure, and it really makes it so I can't enjoy the plot or characters, no matter how good the story itself might be.

It's Embarrassing And So Hard
LakotaWolf (she/her) 14 hours ago
I've often tried to explain the stories that live in my own head (that I've never gotten around to writing down, lol. And I was an English/Creative Writing major. sigh.) I realize that, no matter how good the plot sounds in my head, no matter how clever and witty the characters are when they talk to each other in my head, the person I try to explain them to just looks at me and is like "So it's about four talking doglike creatures who wander through the desert looking for a giant escalator???" Me: No! I mean... actually, yes, BUT--

I'm a lifelong reader/book lover, just like my dad was. We were the kind of people who would read the cereal box at breakfast and the shampoo bottle on the toilet because we didn't want to be away from reading something XD He got me my first "all access" library card when I was 6. (Our city's library is truly glorious - 115,000 sq ft/10,700 m sq, and nearly 400,000 books!) My mom and sister, on the other hand, will PROUDLY state that they hate reading. My sister hasn't read a book since high school (she's 50.) No one has to love reading, but being proud of hating to read has always baffled me.

Hey, fellow readers -- if you have a Goodwill bins outlet in your near vicinity, ALL BOOKS are only 25 cents each! At least that's the case in my state, Colorado.

Far more interesting poll coming - my GP recently expressed bewildered amazement at the concept of rereading books. Personally I always loved how each rereading brought new little details or insights, but...I'm now wondering how odd it really is that several of my favourites have sellotape holding the pages in place. So: to reread endlessly or not to reread?

Reread. I actually usually have one new and one reread going at the same time.
