Maybe there are important things that are going over my head. Or maybe I actually understand things too well now after hanging around this community for so long.
Depending on the quality of the lesson and your understanding of it, I think the following combinations are possible:
the lessons is wrong or stupid = not impressed
going over your head = not impressed
you understand it, but failed to internalize = impressed on re-read
you already internalized it = not impressed
Many of the outcomes seem similar, it is difficult to distinguish between them.
Seems to me that people are often impressed by texts that happen to provide some last missing piece of a puzzle for them. Which is a different thing for different people, and even for the same person at a different moment of their life. Why is why recommending books to others is difficult.
