I don't reread my books after they're published, because it's agony.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't reread my books.
I don't often reread my own books, unless I am going into another in the series and need to refresh my mood when originating the concept.
The things I keep going back to, rereading, maybe they say more about me as a reader than about the books. Love in the Time of Cholera, Pale Fire.
I hope that readers will tear through my books because they can't stop themselves - and then, maybe, read them again and find new things there.
All of my books come from pain.
What's gratifying is that it's my books that are being read and reread until they're battered over the years. I love that.
There's more fiction in my life than in books, so I don't bother with them.
I often reread books I have written.
I do reread, kind of obsessively, partly for the surprise of how the same book reads at a different point in life, and partly to have the sense of returning to an old friend.
I love to reread, even more than I like to read, so keeping a hold of books that I adore is very important, although they flee from me - they are always fleeing.
