REREADING BOOKS. I wonder how many people actually do it--besides me. There are actually many reasons to reread your favorite books--you know--the books that you hold dear to your heart. I spent the last week rereading ONE OF THEM. The books I reread are the books I'll never forget. They are the books I buy and keep in my library because I want to keep them close to me so that I can reread them whenever I want. The characters in these stories speak to me and become almost real. They are people I'll never forget. I actually remember their names--which is crazy--because I can't even remember the names of my own kids. It doesn't matter that I already know what's going to happen--that's not the point. I guess I reread books because the writing is so special that I want to enjoy it again. They are like old friends--comforting to be around. Instead of reviewing a book today--I thought I'd leave you with a list of books worthy of rereading to inspire you to either read or reread one.
