In Praise of Rereading

In his book The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis
depicts reading-for-appearance's-sake as harmful
to the soul. The senior devil Screwtape chastises
his nephew Wormwood for allowing his "patient"
to "read a book he really enjoyed, because he
enjoyed it and not in order to make clever remarks
about it to his new friends." This purely motivated
reading threw the tempter's scheme (to make his
patient a pompous, self-important, hypocrite)
completely off course.
