We buy books, because we re-read. (boy, do we re-read!)
Yes! Rereading is an exquisite pleasure all its own. Some books deserve it. Others demand it. And what a wonderful thing that is.
Yes, right before deadline is a good time for anything. Inspiration kicks in because of that extra jolt of panic. I remember once as an undergraduate writing an essay on Louis Riel and submitting it several days early. I was proud at the time, but then got it back - my lowest mark of the year. I should have waited till deadline.
I like to save obsession for things that are worth obsessing over.
