Minisode Six: The Joys and Perils of Re-reading
from Literary Friction · host Literary Friction
Are you a re-reader? Do you have any comfort books that you return to over and over? Have you ever recommended a book and then realised you can’t remember what happens in it? Have you ever picked up a book and got halfway through before realising you've read it before? (One of us may have some confessions to make). Minisode Six is about re-reading - how we do it, if we do it, why we do it. We also have some announcements: we're about to take a summer break but we'll be back in 2 weeks with an author special featuring Ocean Vuong, and then we’ll be resting our voices til September and working on building our website and putting together a great autumn programme. But don’t worry! We’ll be re-running old shows from our archive in the meantime.
