a friend of mine reads "frannie and zoe" by salinger every year on his birthday. he's now read it around 12 times. sometimes i wonder, but he says he gets something different out of it every time-that he's in a different point in his life, brings something new to the text in his growth, and that it is ever new for him. if you can read the bible once and get everything out out of it, my congratulations. perhaps you'll understand if some of us linger a bit longer...
