Date: 2008-01-05 09:51 am (UTC)I love rereading things though, books become comfy, safe things and I like to read them again, I like to get to favourite bits and carry the images with me. Sometimes I will finish a book and turn straight back to the beginning again and start over.
Sometimes I'll just reread a specific chapter or section, because that's the image that I crave there and then (those didn't make it on to my list btw!)
Probably the fact I read so much delays me on writing, but it's also a relaxation and I need to read before bed to wind down.
I have the Time Traveller's Wife, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I'm working my way through Michael Connelly. The Last HP - maybe not the best, but I like a resolution to things!
