I'll say that Ishmael is something that is a bit different every time I read it. No, obviously the words are the same every time. But, each time, I take something different away.

I think that only the first time did I take away what the author intended. It's not the book that is what I always take away, but what I think about while reading the book. It's not just what it says, but what it doesn't say.

I don't even totally agree with the various conclusions and note some logical flaws. But, it inspires me to think, to be introspective, and to look at things a little differently than I had before.

I can't really review the book anymore. I probably could have reviewed it when I first read it. I might have been able to review it after each reading, but they'd have been different reviews every time.

Then again, I suppose this is a bit of a review...
