Taleb spend 30-40 hours every week reading. Here are some of his sayings on rereading.

1. The reading of a single text twice is more profitable than reading two different things once.

2. A good book gets better at the second reading. A great book at the third. Any book not worth rereading isn’t worth reading.

3. Never read a book you would not reread.

4. The unread books on your shelf are like a universe of alternate possibilities waiting to be explored.

5. A novel you like resembles a friend. You read it and reread it, getting to know it better. Like a friend, you accept it the way it is; you do not judge it.

6. I divide my spirits into two categories: those I read for the pleasure of reading and those I read for the pleasure of rereading.

7. The minute I was bored with a book or a subject I moved to another one, instead of giving up on reading altogether.

Experience the transformative power of rereading.
