Even if a book I read as a teenager was the best book of all time and the author was the greatest person to ever live who was literally Jesus I would still read other books because being a literate adult requires one to read a wide variety of new material over time lol
You never read a book more than once?
On rare occasions, no YA books unless I'm reading them to a kid. I'm not going to reread the The Chronicles of Narnia either. I haven't read Harry Potter because it came out when I was in college but I don't believe from what I know that there is enough substance to Harry Potter to make me want reread them if I had.
I read about a book every week and am in multiple book clubs and have a huge list of books to read so going back and reading fluff from when I was a kid is not going to make the cut because I am an adult. The point I made is about actual literacy though, if you are just rereading the same books and not engaging with the wide variety of works and authors through time you aren't really exercising your literacy muscles. I loved the Hitchhikers Guide series too, but I already read it and probably won't read it again. There are more books to read than I have life to live.
I feel like this is aimed at the new tv series. It's more about not watching the new content and not rereading.
I've seen people demonizing watching then discussing it with friends, since it's spreading it, even if you don't buy it. I get it since jk is basically trans enemy number 1, but it does feel a bit intense. That being said, If I watch it, I'm pirating it and not really discussing it with anyone since I have no friend, so I don't have to worry about it.
Oh yeah that tracks I guess, I don't really watch tv series and saw they were holding a book in the meme but there is a poster about the series.
