Probably.
But idk... Reading a book that you planned to read like 60 years ago when you were much different seems cool to me

I have something like this. _Nothing Was the Same_ by K. R. Jamison is about grief and about her experience of losing a loved one. I'm saving it for the moment I lose my parents. I know I'll need her to bring some consolation and perspective because it's going to hurt.

Reading a book at 20, then again at 50, then again at 80 will hit very differently. I'm not yet 50 but I'm rereading books that already feel like an entirely new experience. The Hitchhiker trilogy is one example. I'm more ready to sympathize with Arthur than I was the first time around.

I reread Pratchett's Night Watch every couple of years and it's different every time. Ditto Nation.
