Rupert’s Relationship with Reading

A man asks about Rupert’s relationship with reading, noting that he has read a lot and can quote many texts. Rupert shares that he no longer reads as much as he once did, having previously read voraciously. Now, if a book isn’t worth reading three times, it’s not worth reading once. He compares it to listening to a Bach prelude or Beethoven piece, explaining that even though he knows it by heart, he still returns to it for the sheer joy of hearing truth expressed in a beautiful way.
