Most of my reading is rereading.

Susan Sontag
About This Quote

I am a person who likes to reread books. I do that more than one and sometimes even more than twice. I find that it is a great way to relax and just enjoy the book. I am not a person who goes on and on about everything I read.

Yet, anyone who reads this quote knows that I am not just talking about books, but also movies, newspaper articles, magazines, and any book you would like to pick up. It is a way of life for me to be able to go back and enjoy something again.
