hopefully this isn't an early manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder

I'm reading White Oleander for the third time in a row right now. I have so little free time to read that each time usually takes me about a month, and at the end I usually finish the book, sit and reflect for a couple of minutes, and then flip back to the first page and start again. I think the reason I can do this is that it is a different book every time. Nuances and lines and characters that I never noticed the time before are suddenly important and noteworthy, and stick in my head for days when I didn't even remember them being there before. Maybe this time I'll go through with a highlighter and those postit page flags.
