I know that I said in a post not too long ago something to the effect that life is just too short to read the same book twice. I hereby amend this. Upon reflection I have come to believe that maybe life is too short not to read the same book twice, sometimes. To spend some time with characters that have, over time, become so familiar they are like old friends, can be soul restoring. That is why one evening about two weeks ago I took Stuart McLean’s Home from the VINYL CAFE from my bookshelf and began reading it again. I finished it the following evening, and started in on VINYL CAFE UNPLUGGED. Over the next ten or twelve days I finished this book, Stories from the VINYL CAFE, Extreme VINYL CAFE, and Christmas at the VINYL CAFE.
