Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 3530901, member: 7882"] Even granting that there may happen to be "thousands and thousands of potentially fantastic books", that hardly requires one to refrain from re-reading a book (or many books) on grounds that something new is available. Reading -- or more broadly, aesthetic experience -- is not a race to consume the most in the limited time available. A work of art -- painting, poem, concerto, novel, you name it -- succeeds to the degree it rewards repeated contemplation with new discovery, pleasure and insight. This is particularly the case when one brings new experience to the object of art. To make this more immediately understandable, consider that many participants here (myself included) have re-watched numerous UConn WCBB games over the years. I am sure that, notwithstanding, there are "thousands and thousands" of potentially fantastic games and competitions available to experience (not only basketball, but also chess, tennis, grand prix showjumping, lacrosse, volleyball, motor cross, boxing, gymnastics, etc.). Would it be an argument to say that I should not be re-watching a game because there are other competitions I have yet to experience at all? [/QUOTE]
