this might sound weird, but i don't think i've ever read something again after reading it once.

i read at a slow pace and find myself re-reading passages often for a variety of reasons. i stop and analyze things, look up secondary texts, write what i think about it, all sorts of stuff.

after i'm done with it, i feel like i've pretty much gotten everything i possibly can out of it. don't have any huge desire to go back, at least not now, since there are other books to get to first.

the first time i didn't even like it that much, it felt too weird and meandering and intense and i just didn't know what it was doing and felt uncomfortable and i stopped halfway through
and then a few years later my friend was telling me about this strange dreamlike book he'd read about a classical musician wandering through a confusing and unfathomably meaningful european town and encountering buried memories, and it sounded so familiar, and i realised i had previously attempted it that one time, so i read it again, and it struck a chord with me that time for some reason
and now i read it every couple of years at least and i can't explain what it is that i love so much about it, it just really fucking speaks to me
