You know what's cool?
Feb. 12th, 2011 10:27 pmRe-reading a book you haven't read in years, and finding that while yeah, it is like you remembered, you now have a better understanding of what it's actually about.
I read The Picture of Dorian Gray when I was. . .I dunno, 16 or 17? So not super long ago, but longer than it feels. I really liked it, and it was what got me into Oscar Wilde and led to me reading his other work.
I'm rereading it for a class right now, and it's cool because while I wouldn't say I "didn't get it" the first time I read it, I feel like it makes more sense to me, and that I appreciate it more, than the first time around. It's making the rereading process all that more interesting.
