But just because a novel is new doesn’t mean it’s any good; indeed, with a new novel being published every three minutes,* the chances that it’s good are actually rather low. Far better to wait and see if a novel stands the test of time, and in the meantime read one that’s already proved itself to be worth reading. Because the art of rereading is a neglected one, and arguably even more important than the act of reading the first time around.”",
