a propos of which i've reead lolita maybe 3 times, i've read dance to the music of time twice and some of them more than twice, i've read life a user's manual twice, i've done quite a lot of rereading but not much of it has stuck with me, which is ironic. i've read that eye of the beholder i'm always on about, maybe 5 times
remember st. mark when his students said kafka was boring and he replied but the point of kafka is that it's boring, that's why it's good, [also cos it's depressing he might have added]
Gravity's Rainbow twice, I think. Lots of favourite novels like Ursula le Guin dozens of times.
Magical books are maybe interesting 'cos you tend to live with them, and re-read and re-read sections and let them inform practice ie I'll probablyu pick up my copy of Aidan Wachter's Weaving Fate again in 5 minutes re. something I'll do later.
I usually have a re-read on the go pretty much all the time. Just finished third go through of Danc to the Music of Time. Currently on fourth read of The Good Soldier. I’ve read Great Expectations probably a dozen times. Gatsby probably more than that. Moby Dick, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Our Mutual Friend, Little Dorritt, Crime and Punishment. All at least twice. There’s loads of others I should imagine.
I've read V., Vineland, Bleeding Edge and Inherent Vice a couple of times, Lot 49 four times, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a couple of times, Dispatches a couple of times, Naked Lunch three times, Heart of Darkness three times and I think that's it.
