Her novel bears rereading, to reveal pleasing ironies (the boy loses the "little red book about lost children" on a train) and stylistic sleights of hand (that little red book begins in much the same way as "Lost Children" itself).

As I've gotten older, I've learned to appreciate story more (in others' work and my own), through reading or rereading classics with my kids, and also appreciating how universal and primal the appeal of a "merely" good story really is.

|
I'd like to say this led to a childhood of Masterpiece Theater and rereading Dickens, but what it really meant is that I watched whatever terrible cartoon happened to be on at the time my parents allowed me to watch cartoons.
|
|
When I tried rereading the book recently, it never felt like a chore to pull out the big heavy hardcover and slip beneath the stream of the plot; after only a few pages, I started to crave it like coffee.
|
|
But in rereading it this summer, bit by bit, over about two months, I found myself enveloped in its incredibly detailed world of young men slicing through the waves in their giant ship, toward a big white whale and certain doom.

|
Many of them are profound meditations that can stand reading and rereading—Rhodes quotes some of the best—but Obama's way was to rise above simplifications that would have stuck in people's heads and given them verbal weapons with which to defend themselves.
|
|
And there is also a special group of shelves where I keep books set aside for research and inspiration, the ones I am reading and rereading because of what they are teaching me about whatever project on which I am at work.
|
|
But these days while I still find joy in rereading The Expanse book series, which I only discovered last year, I find myself turning to an old standby: "The Little Prince" in its original French, the language in which I first read it.
|
|
Gornick's new book is part memoiristic collage, part literary criticism, yet it is also an urgent argument that rereading offers the opportunity not just to correct and adjust one's recollection of a book but to correct and adjust one's perception of oneself.

I continued to sit with her, because she is my sister and she was distressed, but I was conscious that I wanted to be rereading about the four kinds of hamburgers instead, reminding myself how to make good-now, good-later decisions.

Meanwhile, yesterday on Twitter I encountered what was, for a bred-in-the-bone Tolkien fan like me, the creepiest thing I've seen in a long while: Rereading Lord of the Rings 10 years later, only to realize that the Ring is my smartphone. pic.twitter.

I always feel vaguely heretical rereading anything when there are so many amazing books unknown to me out there but the tide of content rises so fast, there's no keeping up so we might as well go with a sure bet once in a while.
|
|
Constance: I agree that this is a novel we're going to see people reread a lot, and I think one of the big pleasures of rereading will be getting the chance to change your mind about that ambiguous ending and then fighting about it. So!

Nowadays, of course, the "unknown" Lenin is unknown no longer — though as late as 1989 Mikhail Gorbachev was rereading the complete works of "Ilyich" (55 volumes in Russian) in search of some last-hour remedy, even as the U.S.S.R. was melting away all around him.
|
|
I've been rereading a 2014 speech by the eminent political scientist Robert Keohane, who suggested that one way to get past the political impasse on climate might be via "an emphasis on huge infrastructural projects that created jobs" — in other words, a Green New Deal.
|
|
And even Hollywood's most famous East Asian face has received a canonical queer rereading: While Mulan has been meme'd to examine if Shang was actually Disney's first gay character, the version of Mulan that aired on the 2013 ABC series Once Upon a Time is bisexual.
|
|
I'm not usually big on rereading — there are far too many new books to get to — but this year I'm planning to go back to Bulgakov's darkly fantastical novel, which describes what happened when the Devil himself strolled into Moscow one summer day in the 1930s.
|
|
I thought about this while rereading an incredible section of "Escape to Berlin," in which Piper writes with an unusually cleareyed self-awareness: I am identified as "black" by others, both "black" and "white," only when this serves to enhance their own social status, and not otherwise.
|
|
But when I was in LA to go on set, my husband and son were with me, and we were by the pool at the hotel — they were splashing around, while I was there rereading the book, checking the difference between the first and second director.

In this sense, "Game of Thrones" fans should feel at home: Yes, you need to read the earlier installments first and yes, rereading individual chapters (or the whole book) at a slower pace — after your first pell-mell rush through to find out what happens — is recommended.
|
|
This is very fine, and if it acquires a sheen of sentiment because of what it suggests will never emerge — that is, more poems from Ritvo — this doesn't change the fact that a reader knowing nothing of poetry or this author might find it worth rereading.
|
|
Rereading it recently for the first time in many years, after screening "Measure of a Man," the movie version due out this month, I still loved most of it but was struck by how certain I sounded back then about things I'm no longer so sure about.
|
|
I recommend the immigration chapter in a new book by the legal scholar Peter Schuck, "One Nation Undecided: Clear Thinking About Five Hard Issues That Divide Us." I'm also rereading research on the upward mobility of recent immigrants to see if it's less encouraging than I'd like.
|

Basil E. Frankweiler, who also strikes me as a role model on rereading — perhaps because in her love of beauty, comfort, and practicality (her customary research outfit is a white lab coat and ornate pearl necklace) she resembles nothing so much as a grown-up Claudia.

I smoke a packet of Camels rereading her email: "I am so proud of you Not as a parent Not out of vanity But in true awe that You are and exist And that this vital force In you is something great Grand Rare" I am and exist.
|
|
But after rereading "Less Than Zero," Bret Easton Ellis's 1985 novel of California excess, she pursued an idea about her own native culture: a portfolio chronicling Crossroads and other deluxe schools, where students attended five-figure bar mitzvahs, drove Range Rovers and cavorted with celebrity progeny like Kate Hudson.

He stood in the middle of his bedroom, frozen in fury, reading and rereading the letter that stated that no, they could not recognize his PhD, because it didn't come from an accredited university, and that as consequence, no, they could not consider him for this role at this time.
|
|
I found myself rereading the beginning of God Loves in the wake of the Trump administration's travel ban earlier this year and was shocked at how [closely] God Loves mirrors real life — particularly in how the ban affects children, and how the first scene in God Loves involves children being hunted.
|
|
I realized in the middle of rereading "Garbage" that this is where I first encountered Ammons's work, in the early nineties, as a graduate student—and realized, too, that his project, measuring itself against the recurring cycles of the day and the year, is itself now a standard of measurement.
|
|
I was reading like, [Austrian philosopher] Rudolph Steiner and rereading [Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard's] Fear and Trembling … I thought if I just figured out enough, or if I just consumed enough information, or if I just read one more obscure philosopher, then I would have a better grasp on reality.
|
|
There's something invigorating about that culture of work, about being deeply engaged in work that you truly care about, but also it really is too much sometimes, so I will never feel guilty about rereading P. G. Wodehouse for the 17th time or binge-reading Danny M. Lavery's "Dear Prudence" columns.
|
|
Both write books so similar to one another that I'm never sure whether I'm rereading one I've read two or three times before — another symptom of age — but I'm always heard laughing sharply aloud at the precision of the insights or murmuring in pleasure at the freshness of the storytelling.
|
|
But I never did, and I wondered, later on, rereading my notes, whether this expressed the convergence of political history with natural history that Walter Benjamin writes about in his essay "The Origin of German Tragic Drama"—a convergence that becomes supernatural along with death passing into the petrified, timeless landscape. 2.

I learned a lot, only by rereading passages several times and then putting the book down to think for a few minutes before continuing, but mostly I came away with a sense of amazement and humility in the face of the universe and the people so much smarter than me that study it.

Selin keeps rereading the emails and wondering if it's wrong for her to think of them as literature, or if they're more of a conversation, or if maybe literature is a conversation in and of itself, and anyway, doesn't all of Bleak House feel like a description of someone else's incredibly long dream?
|
|
No detail is too small to come home to roost; as with Tana French, with whom she is justly compared for writing mayhem-centric books that should not be regarded as genre fiction, it's worth rereading the beginning once you've finished this novel just to see how well the author has manipulated you.

He was looking forward to getting back to his private life, to puttering around, painting, reading — he was rereading Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" — and hanging with his girlfriend, the actress Xosha Roquemore, and their baby, who was born last year, and whose name and gender, per Mr. Stanfield's desire, have been kept under wraps.

But the painting is essentially a map representing Al Qaeda's communications and financial networks in which the size of the leaves correlate to the size of the Al Qaeda cell or documented financial transaction — all based on a deliberately atypical rereading of the term "virgin" as a reward for those who die fighting a jihad.
|

Grammarly is also excellent at catching what linguists call "unknown tokens"—the glitches that sometimes occur in the writer's neural net between the thought and the expression of it, whereby the writer will mangle a word that, on rereading, his brain corrects, even though the unknown token renders the passage incomprehensible to everyone else.

In honor of what would have been her 150th birthday on Tuesday, here are 15 things we learned from Little House on the Prairie the first time, 10 details that stuck out upon rereading the books in adulthood, and 10 downright terrifying things that you would never expect to find in these charming historical children's novels.

This was not the first time we had read the letter, but it was the first rereading, a day after the immediate shock of having received it and learning that my father, Jaballa Matar, was not in a secret location in Cairo, as the Egyptian authorities had led us to believe, but in Abu Salim prison in Tripoli, Libya.
|

Productivity books like Getting Things Done, Eat That Frog, and more, then rereading the best parts of those books every day (I highlighted them) so I would own those lessons for lifeEmotional mastery books like Mastery of Love and How to Win Friends & Influence People that help me build incredible relationships with others and to never judge myself.
|
|
Because I began working on my book last fall, I also started reading and rereading titles that addressed some of the broader attitudes undermining truth today, including the growing partisanship in our politics, the merging of news and entertainment, the enshrinement of subjectivity, the populist suspicion of expertise and the spread of misinformation over social media.

Two days into the season, and it's past time to open up the summer house of the mind, commence the annual rereading of Colson Whitehead's "Sag Harbor," get ready to hit the grill in shorts and flip-flops on the final day of the weekend, make some spiedies (above) even though you didn't think to start marinating them last night.

You are, you are—what else does father wail to child—though wailing it he's woken with six-sevenths of the night to go—you are—look I will set to work this very moment slowing time myself, feet to the stone and shoulder to the dark to gain you ground—if just one ledge of light you flutter to, right now, rereading that.

This occurred to me while I was rereading Gibbon's Decline and Fall, as one does, and in particular its depictions of the early days of the Christian faith: But whatever difference of opinion might subsist between the Orthodox [church], the Ebionites, and the Gnostics, concerning the divinity or the obligation of the Mosaic law, they were all equally animated by the same exclusive zeal; and by the same abhorrence for idolatry ..,.

THE GLASS HOTELBy Emily St. John Mandel The success of Emily St. John Mandel's 2014 National Book Award-nominated novel "Station Eleven," in which a band of artists travel a post-pandemic North American landscape (and which may merit a rereading after you've finished rewatching "Contagion"), inspired a lot of the usual talk about genre and literary fiction, and whether here was another shining example of the distinction's decline.
|
|
Tuccillo directly addresses the reality that expecting to be treated with basic respect and kindness might mean you end up alone: You could be forgiven for missing some of these golden truths; upon rereading, I realized that much of the book's best bits are gummed up with a tone that is so painfully early-aughts, I felt, at times, like I was being lectured by the reanimated corpse of an Ed Hardy T-shirt.

She's the kind of author that you can meet for the first time at 10 years old and fall in love with, and then keep rereading for the rest of your life, always finding new layers — so by the time the Harry Potter boom hit in the late '90s and created a ravenous audience for children's fantasy, Jones had plenty of adult fans who had grown up on her books, now worked in the publishing industry, and were ready and willing to seize the moment for her.

"If we're not bringing a certain kind of case, it's because the evidence is not there — pure and simple," Mr. Bharara said in 2014 in a wide-ranging interview with Worth magazine about why he never prosecuted a bank C.E.O. In that article — which is quite revealing and worth rereading — he offered some advice to the Greek chorus of politicians, pundits and others who suggested that he and other prosecutors had abdicated their responsibility by not pressing charges against the big banks or their top executives.

And what I heard in my rereading of the Declaration of Independence was a story about the nature of black life in this country from the very beginning: "Declaration" He has sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people He has plundered our— ravaged our— destroyed the lives of our— taking away our— abolishing our most valuable— and altering fundamentally the Forms of our— In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.

"An Eames Primer," by Eames Demetrios — an excellent portrait of the author's prolific artist/designer/freethinker grandparents, Charles and Ray Eames; "Scratching the Woodchuck," by David Kline — an Ohio farmer's delightful intimacy with the flora and fauna of his 120 acres; "The Nature and Art of Workmanship," by David Pye, an indispensable treatise on the importance of skill and workmanship in the manufacture of objects in this modern era of consumerism; "The Anarchist's Tool Chest," by Christopher Schwarz, an inspiring call to arms for the woodworker — encouraging the proper selection and mentality in the healthy use of vintage hand tools; and also rereading Edward Abbey's "The Monkey Wrench Gang" in my constant search for just the right book to adapt that has a healthy agenda of environmentalism contained within a ripping good story.
