“Reading also has two quite distinct pleasures for us -- that of discovering a new author, of enlarging our minds with new feeling and thoughts as we read, and that of rereading a well-known book, in which we find ourselves, as it were, at home but keep noticing new details that had escaped us in our hasty first reading, when we were hurrying on in our eagerness to find out what came next.” (Paul Tournier, The Adventure of Living, 1965, pages 155-156)Monday, March 12, 2018
