I am enjoying the simple act of reading this time around. No need to analyze, contextualize, etc (though those things happen naturally). Having read the book once for analysis, now I just get to enjoy it. It's a feeling of reading freedom I haven't enjoyed for a while.

Second reading. This time a bit more slowly, with intent.
