Not all of them. :-) And I say that as a person that has a "cycle" that I reread about twice a decade that covers about fifteen individual books and three months. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) ========== No, not all of them. :-) But the ones not worth reading twice, I don't keep (and probably suffered through rather impatiently to the end the first time around). But a lot of books are worth reading. Especially if I wait long enough between rereads so that I have forgotten some of the details or some of the "feel" of that author's style. I do something similar to the above. But not to any particular set pattern. >If nothing else, you've got the active versus passive, emission versus reflection thing going. Yup. >If the appropriate people are paying attention, and there's no guarantee of that, the printed page will survive until a reasonable digital alternative appears. More likely, we're fucked. :-) Double yup. Except for all those millions of used books out there.
