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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't reread my books after they're published, because it's agony.
I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.
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 tend not to reread books, because there's always something new to discover, but Dorothy Sayers is a comfort grab for me - there's no mood so bleak or cold so bad that Lord Peter and Bunter can't make it right.
I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.
I usually have two or three books on the go at the same time. If I'm in different moods, I want to read different things.
I'm not a natural reader but there are books I'll read and read again.
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.
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.
