Where the muses still haunt : the second reading

Books
'Re-reading is one of life's joys', Anne Drury Hall reminds us. Not simply from the sweetness of remembering or because of the way a book can be like an old friend, but because returning to a great book is inseparable from the endeavor to succeed at being human. The 'pull of something old and steady and reliable, the pull to rise to a higher plane' is an important aspect of this experience, where the reader truly 'notices' and 'connects' with the world and himself. This is why books are the cornerstones of education and the source of the power of concentration. After leaving school and becoming lost in adulthood, can one return to these books and revive the quest to be great?
