Reading Books Over and Over

Each time I read these books iIget something else out of them. I am not sure if I am just not paying attention the first time I read them or I just don't get them the first time through. I just finished reading "The Miracle of Mindfullness" by the Vietnamese Monk Thich Nhat Hanh. He is an exiled Buddhist monk who lives in Paris. The first time I read the book I thought it was simplistic and naive. But I reread it over several times and I am amazed how many ideas that struck me as simple initially were actually pearls of wisdom.
