Rereading books

I personally NEVER do that unless I have NOTHING to read. It may be fine if you don't understand it the first time but it shows a lack of understanding and intelligence. I know many people who do it who are not stupid but just like the stories. I feel this also is foolish. Why reread a book that you already know how it ends when there are literally tons of books you have not read? Even if some of the books out there are not as good they still expand your horizons and let you tell the good books from bad better. I do not read very fast* but I found I have probably read more than people who read faster than me but only reread books. What are all your guy's opinion on this? * That does not mean i read very slow either- 100 pgs a day is not slow is it?

And besides: why spend the money on a book when you're going to read it once and let it sit there?

That's one of the reasons I was banned from buying books, now I find it fun to re-read books and the ones I wouldn't consider buying I borrow from the library.

Never forget how special this site is: the older I get, the more I realize how many lonely writers there are who have only family and maybe some friends to read their works. The fact we get free critique, nightly writing pads, free contests and unlimited interaction at *no cost* with people genuinely wanting to help, can not be overstated or overrated
