It happens for me mostly because I used to fly through books SO FAST as a kid/teenager, and also obviously there were references I didn't understand and stuff, so NOOOOOW when I reread them I totally get all the little things without having to rush through to see what happens. Also I didn't used to be a book crier but now I am, so pages are finally getting the soakings they deserved all along.<br /><br />Like, I'm rereading Dorian Gray, and OH MY GOD so many touchings of shoulders and blushings and little compliments that my teenage brain skipped over because I was all about the gothic corruption angle, whereas now I'm literally writing over and over in the margin, "GAY. SO GAY. SOOOO GAY. JEEZ GET A ROOM. DORIAN STOP FLIRTING WITH THE BAD MAN HE'LL MELT YOUR BRAIN. BASIL STOP MOONING YOU'RE TOTALLY BEING CREEPY NOW" etc etc. So much fun. :DElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-81912739893760750242016-03-28T22:25:56.684+01:002016-03-28T22:25:56.684+01:00Oh yes, I think Eleanor and Park is my favourite (...Oh yes, I think Eleanor and Park is my favourite (at least, it's the only one I've read twice so far) but it made me ugly-cry both times!
