The Beauty of Rereading

I love rereading books.

If a book impacts me enough the first time I read it, I revisit it — sometimes A LOT. I want to embody and immerse myself in it; I want to know why I think it’s life-changing.

The average retention rate of reading is a mere 10%: I’d rather read 10 books 100 times each than 1,000 books once.
