This fall I’ve been working through a classic-dystopia list — We, The Machine Stops, Earth Abides — and what surprises me is how much they shift between reads. We feels more alive to me now than it did five years ago; The Machine Stops reads a little less like fiction every year.
Do you re-read books like these, or are they one-and-done for you? And if you do go back: which one changed the most the second time through?
