Rereading books...

[fajrdrako]

A friend of mine just mentioned today in passing that she loves to reread books, but she feels guilty when she does so - because there are just so many good books out there.

It never occurred to me to feel guilty about rereading. I see it as a tribute to a good writer. I am currently rereading Captain Vorpatril's Alliance by Lois McMaster Bujold, and Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay. Two excellent books by two of my favourite authors. And those aren't the only books I'm in the middle of... I mean, I read other books too.

I had forgotten how very beautiful Tigana is.

I owe myself a reread of Tigana. At one point I thought I'd reread the Fionavar Tapestry every year...but I can't. I need a few years in-between to recover each time.

That Kay's writing for you.

I've read Tigana twice; once in 1990 and once maybe about 2000. I'm really looking forward to this reading.
