He ran thus thumb across it clearing the screen, even without looking away from her or setting free even a wrinkle from his face. "There's always something new to learn from it. No matter what you're reading, or how many times you read it."
It might have been a bit of a cheat that he could go back, talk to authors, talk to the people who'd just read the books for the first time, skipping through time and time and time, getting to have the next of whatever he wanted, or just being so far in the future it all already existed, long scattered as dust, like treasure to mine from time.
