A really good read. As a biologist, I'm completely into the way nature is described in the series, reclaiming the land in a very spooky manner...

"They know that when war was declared, we all, on the instant, professed a love for our fellow men, men thousands of miles away whom we had never seen, a love which they, Iiving beside us for fourteen years, had never felt."

Auch beim zweiten Mal nach 13 Jahren, macht mich dieser Teil immer noch fertig… Vielleicht der beste Teil der Saga, vielleicht das Beste was King geschrieben hat. #darktower #rereading
So thrilled to have my Kobo Aura HD (2013) reactivated for a week now! Diving back into Ishmael by Daniel Quinn after a whole decade, and it's just brilliant. What's gracing your e-reader or bookshelf? #Kobo #eReader #Ishmael #DanielQuinn #Bookworm #VintageTech #ReReading #BingeReading
Use both ends of the pencil if you hope
to write what gets read twice.

A new exhibition from my colleagues within Archives + Special Collections!
'Re:reading' explores how new, innovative analyses of historic collections (e.g. digital humanities) reveals hitherto hidden knowledge and understanding.
#Exhibition open to all at University of #Glasgow Library. Access via main entrance. #rereading #archives #SpecialCollections #library #DigitalHumanities #scholarship
On happily outgrowing old favorites:
#rereading 12. Mai 1825 … „Denn wir kleinen Menschen sind nicht fähig, die Grösse solcher Dinge in uns zu bewahren, und wir müssen daher von Zeit zu Zeit immer dahin zurückkehren, um solche Eindrücke in uns anzufrischen.“ Eckermann Gespräche mit Goethe
A quotation from Repplier, Agnes:
«
Books that children read but once are of scant service to them; those that have really helped to warm our imaginations and to train our faculties are the few old friends we know so well that they have become a portion of our thinking selves.

The history of early modern reading is also a history of #rereading, a history of storing papers and ideas (and information), and a history of the material conditions of writing, reading, transporting and reusing papers. A newly accentuated #PaperHistory is connecting these fields. Goodybe. 8/8
All eyes on #rereading, dear #skystorians: Among the many reusages of paper in #earlymodern Europe was certainly the rereading of letters. Here's a thread - using a 1780s painting from Marguerite Gérard - for those interested in #paperhistory and #bookhistory 1/8
Against Rereading https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2024/09/04/against-rereading/
"Rereading is a conservative pursuit: it is what makes canon formation possible, & canons are what keep the base structure of a tradition intact.
…Though great writers hold #rereading in highest esteem, the most committed rereaders are those who are just learning how to read
…maybe the crucial difference between those who #read once and those who reread is an attitude toward time, or more precisely, death."
I recently talked about rereading on my blog. Here Jamie takes on the same subject.

“Oops”, said Tasslehoff Burrfoot.
A quotation from Joubert, Joseph:
«
Few books can please us throughout life. For some we lose all liking as we grow in age, wisdom, or good sense.
[Peu de livres peuvent plaire toute la vie. Il y en a dont on se dégoûte avec le temps, la sagesse ou le bon sens.]

Just finished #rereading 10% happier from Dan Harris.
“When you have one foot in the future and the other in the past, you piss on the present.”
This is only true if both feet are equally in it's „time“. I tend to spend far more time in the future (ruminating, planning) than the past. What about you? Do you spend an equal-ish amount of time in the past and future or much more in the one than the other? #meditation #mindfulness
