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.

Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
