I find I have a similar experience, not with re-reading, but with re-watching the TV shows I viewed as a kid. With so many of them available on cable and now the web, I find it very reflective to watch the show from an adult perspective, and analyze why it appealed to me as a child. Often I find the ones that I found most appealing as a kid had quite a bit of substance to them (I think the quality of writing was much better then, as the writers probably came from stage or screen backgrounds -- nowadays everything seems so derivative). It's also interesting to see how much propaganda to push society's values was sometimes in them. And of course, some which were just foolish then are still just foolish entertainment. I hadn't realized that this gives the adult me a chance to visit with the young me, but of course that's what is happening. Thanks for sharing this, Bob Keefe As I read your article I had an ah-ha moment. I find I have a similar experience, not with re-reading, but with re-watching the TV shows I viewed as a kid.

It’s also interesting to see how much propaganda to push society’s values was sometimes in them. And of course, some which were just foolish then are still just foolish entertainment.

I hadn’t realized that this gives the adult me a chance to visit with the young me, but of course that’s what is happening.

If you're talking to someone for whom you have ambivalent feelings, it can be uncomfortable, believe me! Not much use for tact on the other side.
