Why reading a book 100 times is a great idea

[jochen stremmel]

My experience is that you discover different things with each reading – for
the first ten readings – like in the Maltese Falcon the story of the man
who disappears "like a fist when you open your hand". Then the grooves get
deeper and deeper ... into the heart and the unconscious. And then you
discover new things.

You can begin with a poem.
