 If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

sounds like the statement of an addictive personality or perhaps OW was autistic.

There´re many useful books that one must read, not necessarily enjoying them. But I agreed with OW there´re some books worth reading over and over again.

That's easy to say for someone who read whole books in minutes.  On the other hand we can't keep going on forever to mistake Oscar Wilde's characters' sayings for his own.
The opposite of hatred is love; the opposite of tyranny is love; the opposite of censorship is love; the opposite of evil is love; the opposite of politics is love; the opposite of war is love; the opposite of god is love.–– Salman RushdieBroadly speaking, it is held that getting money is good and spending money is bad. Seeing that they are two sides of one transaction, this is absurd; one might as well maintain that keys are good, but keyholes are bad. Whatever merit there may be in the production of goods must be entirely derivative from the advantage to be obtained by consuming them. –Bertrand RussellNever believe a liar. Papa, angry people burn our home.

You brought the matter to the fore, uuaschbaer.
