Writer's Block: Time after time

[Error: unknown template qotd]I'm not sure I have a limit on books; I just wait until I've forgotten the details and/or get an urge to read a particular story again.

With films, I think my limit is probably about three or four times: "Titfield Thunderbolt" and "A Night to Remember" are the only titles I can call to mind that I have seen four or more times.

But as going to the cinema, for me, generally starts off with an hour's hard cycle journey (and the prospect of another, uphill, journey to tail the evening), I do actively note and mark out as "don't need to see" films that I remember having watched before -- in this context I would point out that the two above regularly appear on television, which is why I have seen them so many times!

I don't do this with books, since I have thousands to hand that can simply be taken off the shelf ;-)
