Why, then, would it be odd to reread a book? Because it takes longer than listening to a song or watching a movie? So what? Why not stretch out a rewarding experience for as long as possible? Part of the pleasure is knowing what’s to come – looking forward to a favorite line or scene – but also the surprise of something overlooked. Standing before a familiar painting and seeing or feeling or understanding something new. To look often at a painting, or a photograph, or a sculpture. To read a poem again and again over time. To revisit a movie or watch reruns on TV. Nobody thinks it odd to listen to a song more than once.
