“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.”

I love this quote from Angela Carter!

I love this! And I think that explains nicely how some books always bring something new to the table even when you’ve reread them a million times. Because you’ve experienced more, you can extract something more from the words that you would have never thought of before.
I think you’re really right! Every time I read a book it’ll be different and that’s because I’ve changed! When you experience different emotions I think books tough you in different ways 🙂
