I find that, in some cases when I read certain literature, not only is speedreading ineffective, but the piece at hand must be read possibly 3 or 4 times, and with other people to bounce off ideas on what the poem, dialog, etc. is trying to get across.<br />Things like Schiller MyTricksterGodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822715394553402846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-75319232488588057322011-08-30T21:11:55.225-07:002011-08-30T21:11:55.225-07:00I'm a re-reader as well.

Likewise, like you, I write my novels on various levels so that those who want a straight adventure or mystery or fantasy can have it -- but those that look deeper will find each name of a character means something.<br /><br />Each artifact's name and function reflects a theme in the novel.

Maybe it's because re-watching a movie takes less time than re-reading a book, but who knows. When I do re-read a book, however, it's always one that (after a single reading) I can tell has more to it.

I don't think there's a single book on my shelves that I haven't re-read at least once (okay, maybe 1). Most of them, I've re-read numerous times.

As far as symbolic aspects that crop up in my writing, I'd say, one has a painted box that represents the girl's lost artist dad, In another novel, the sun has special meaning and power. In another, I have a painter who is obsessed with lucky numbers, so funny you should post about it.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-35701846554874534522011-08-30T14:26:39.347-07:002011-08-30T14:26:39.347-07:00Hi, thanks for stopping at my blog and joining.

So are blue, purple and green to a lesser extent. For some reason yellow equals disease, weakness and nasty things. I start feeling a little weak when I see the it. I don't know why since I kind of like the colour. <br /><br />I'm working on a story with Emilia Quillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295982824010499581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499819998811995494.post-2223680974461844852011-08-30T10:28:00.783-07:002011-08-30T10:28:00.783-07:00@ Kurt

I try to make my characters smart and to give them good reasons to make the decisions that they do, but to have them make the Wrong decisions because they didn't have all of the information that they needed at the time. <br /><br />Being Wrong doesn't make them less smart, after all, and then they're stuck trying to pick up the pieces.Kurt Hartwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857036723957923656noreply@blogger.com
