I'm too neurotic to re-read--Like Kurt, I'm ever aware of the great books from the past I've never read, and the new ones coming out daily! But once or twice I'll pick up a book I read a long time ago and re-read it (this is usually only for a second time) and the experience is nearly always revelatory. So I wish I could bring myself to re-read more. Also, given how short my memory is, this whole neurosis is ridiculous. I recently re-read the Mill on the Floss, after 30 years, and it was like reading it for the first time. I didn't remember a thing.
