or just say as i do to my husband: I read my books regularly from start of
an author until I've read evry book and then I'll go back to the beginning
and start again. Each time an author I collect publishes a new book I read
that, which then prompts me to re-start their collection again.
Each time I read a book, no matter how many times I read it, I discover
things I must have skimmed past on other readings. Sometimes, a book I
really hated (like Cell or The DesperRegultors) I'll discover a redeeming
feature and whilst they will never be a favourite, I can keep on reading
them.
Besides
I'm a bower bird. I collect EVERYTHING
