    Default Going to Re-read it

    I originally read this book in high school the year it was published; this was before going off to university to "get educated." Anyway, some scenarios and passages have definitely stayed with me after a decade, so last week I decided to pick it up and I plan a re-read.
    I wonder what it'll be like after all this time?

    I've read On Writing twice (planning on a third,) and-as is to be expected-the re-read turned out to be even more insightful, and satisfying.

    I found IT to be even better on a re-read. I now count it among the SK top three, and I didn't the first time.

    I've must have reread It 20 times at least and it only improves with each reading. As a 12 year old (which I was when I read it first) I thought it was fun, but growing up I started understanding more of the subtext and the story became richer and much more pleasurable for me. Enjoy...!
