    Weird question, isn’t it?

    I thought I would ask, even though I doubt there is a mysterious answer I hadn’t thought about. It keeps crossing my mind, so why not simply ask?

    I saw Wim Wenders’s “Pefect Days”: without spoiling the movie, it’s about a middle-aged man who cleans the public toilets of Tokyo during the day and reads a lot at night.

    We see him read in bed, until he gets really sleepy and puts the book down next to his bed. When he wakes up the next morning (to the sound of his elderly neighbour sweeping the sidewalk), he picks up the book, seemingly re-reads the last sentence from the night before, and puts it away: this time not on the floor but properly on a cupboard of some sort.

    Why does he do this? Do you re-read the last sentence(s) you read at night, when you wake up?
