"Curiously enough, one cannot read a book: one can only reread it. A good reader, a major reader, an active and creative reader is a rereader."
– Nabokov, "Good Readers and Good Writers" (3)
I love this quote, which is, of course, especially true when reading (or rereading) works by Nabokov. He really took the idea of rereading to heart when designing and writing his novels, particularly Pale Fire.
