Today at the library I spontaneously decided to reread my favorite of the Shoes series.

Anyone else remember this book from childhood? Fingers crossed it’ll hold up

RE: #Books #AdamSerwer #TheCrueltyIsThePoint

#rereading some of this— more coping after Jan. 6th. I used to follow Adam Serwer on Twitter— and then bought his book. It’s the 9th— no matter how you spin it.

@mariapopova — a treasure house of wisdom. #rereading Thank you.

“The weather had turned dry and colder, and people remarked on what a picture the convent made, how like a Christmas card it almost was with the yews and evergreens dusted in frost and how the birds, for some reason, had not touched a single berry on the holly bushes there.” No better time to read (or reread) this small masterpiece. #ClaireKeegan #SmallThingsLikeThese #Christmas #rereading

“Humanity itself is what we have to fight for—accepting all the compromises and half-measures that are essential to human existence, and neither condemning them too readily nor forgiving them too easily.

#Camus reveals himself, in his way, as that most horrible of things, a centrist. But centrism is a necessary condition, if a very bad name, for the simple effort of turning one’s head around to see the whole horizon. Seeking the middle on every question is foolish; being centered to see the world as it is, just essential sense. At the time Camus wrote his letter, resistance was not a self-congratulatory rhetorical position but a life-or-death risk taken every day. And yet he was still prepared to put his life on the line for the view that there is no one line to follow in life.”

I love #rereading books. It's like visiting with old friends and rediscovering relationships.

Hello old friend #TheRebel #AlbertCamus (I’m obsessed with this book). #rereading portions.

“… just as I believe that you will be of help in my journey beyond that frontier by keeping me lucid and by enabling me to put on and to take off at will the mask which will be my shield against the hostility of Conformism.” #LeonoraCarrington #rereading #latte

Reading a note about reading Hans Magnus Enzensberger in 2004 and re-reading him in 2017. #111Words #HansMagnusEnzensberger #Lyrik #Poetry #ReReading https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2022/11/reading-note-about-reading-hans-magnus.html

@G_y_tri I recently read Wuthering Heights for maybe the third time and realized it’s been a completely different novel each time I’ve read it. #rereading #books

We don't talk about #rereading #books or #poems enough. So many times the book doesn't speak to you on the first go, because it's not your time and it's not its time. But then one day years later you pick it up again and suddenly you're old friends and this time your memories of your journey meet. And some books hold a space for the feelings or a time you've been trying to forget. The panic of realisation is gone. Re reading is a gentler coming to the meaning of yourself. What do you re read?

@carbonwoman Wurde nicht weiter konkretisiert. Und „beliebt“ ist auch nicht gleich erfolgsversprechend. Allerdings wurde erwähnt, dass #Rereading die Illusion von gründlicher Beschäftigung mit dem Inhalt erzeugen könne.

#Rereading ist die beliebte #Lernstrategie unter Studierenden, sagt @laurinspire@twitter.com #tincon #rp22
