Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the ―what‖ and the ―why‖. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book ―brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.‖ It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience – by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand. More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can bee connected with the story in the book. Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t reread more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely onetime delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile. 32. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to ________.
