2026: Das Jahr, in dem ich Bücher zum zweite Mal lese.
Warum? Weil das erste Mal für die Handlung ist, aber das zweite Mal für die Seele. Man entdeckt Details, die man übersehen hat, und trifft alte Freunde zwischen den Zeilen wieder.
Manche Geschichten sind einfach zu gut, um sie nur einmal zu erleben.
Welches Buch habt ihr mehr als einmal gelesen? 👇

In philosophy/strategy: I have a shelf of classics that I come back to daily, not for study but for continual re-orientation.

Auch beim zweiten Mal nach 13 Jahren, macht mich dieser Teil immer noch fertig… Vielleicht der beste Teil der Saga, vielleicht das Beste was King geschrieben hat. #darktower #rereading
Igor JagecSo thrilled to have my Kobo Aura HD (2013) reactivated for a week now! Diving back into Ishmael by Daniel Quinn after a whole decade, and it's just brilliant. What's gracing your e-reader or bookshelf?
