Reading a book

Occasionally, I’ll read a book quickly — cover to cover in a few days. More often, I’ll read the first third or two thirds of a book over a few weeks, and then never finish it.

But sometimes, a book is juicy enough to savor. A few pages or chapters at a time. Over the course of a year or two. All the way to the end, then back to the beginning.

The most resonant words and ideas ought not to be rushed.
