I...I'm not really sure what draws me back to books. In some cases, I reread them simply becasue I read them too young and either 1) didn't understand why everone thought they were so great, or 2) loved them and want to see if they were really that good. This latter is a risky strategy. There's nothing worse than finding that a book you loved really wasn't all that good.<BR/><BR/>But although I can come up with reasons for why I believe I return to certain books (I believe I went through that exrcise after one of your other posts), the fact is that I'm not sure.<BR/><BR/>If I really understood why I reread what I reread, I'd probably have a lot more insight into myself. <BR/><BR/>Too much insight, probably.
