- I have to read the book for two different classes (Heart of Darkness)
- I forget I already read the book (The Time Machine)
- Religious study (Book of Mormon)
I was surprised that I enjoyed this book more than the first run through the jungle back in my 11th grade English class. This might be due to improved reading skills. It might also be a superior instructor. It could just be a short-lived fascination with cannibalism. Go fish.
Yes, it is a lot to slosh through, but the text does contain some powerful descriptions of the African continent during the time of European occupation. I believe this classic novel is worth your time if you haven't already read it.
Have you returned to any books lately to discover that you either liked or disliked them more than the first read?

I actually dont have many books that I disliked reading. There are a few that when I first read them I didnt understand them completely, (no examples unless wanted), but then there are others that I have to read more then once due to either I miss parts, didnt understand a certain turn, or that I just plain forgot. I believe that a person needs to revisit old books just because of the familiarity, just as a person returns to certain places (a home, a mountian, a city). That's just how I see it. Do not take offense of it, as that is not how I mean it to be taken.
