Aug. 13th, 2010 02:04 amDay IX- A Book you’ve read more than once
I re-read books. Not so much lately, because I've had very little time for re-reading, what with all the universe of books that awaits me, provided by the lovely university library, the dollar section of Strand, and various sellers on Amazon. But when I was younger, broke, and too lazy to go the library, I totally did. So it was not so much a mark of respect for the book as an indication of my boredom that I read things multiple times. I think I've read Sabriel eleven times.
But I suppose I've read Invisible Cities enough times to have practically memorized it because I love it; because it's beautiful, elusive, etc.
As a side note, I'm listening to the Lerner and Lowe Camelot, and god knows it's sappy as all hell, and the lyrics are not actually all that good, but damn if "Before I gaze at you again" and "I loved you once in silence," not to mention the finale, make me weep like a child.
