Reply #52: Anything that I enjoyed the first time is worth multiple reads.

For me, that numbers in the thousands.

Right now I'm reading The Way It Is by William Stafford; a collection of poetry.

I know, reading it, that I will buy a copy when I can; perhaps with the B & N gift card I'm hoping will be in my stocking for xmas.

Good poetry SHOULD be read and reread, of course.

So should all good stories, imo.

Mark Twain. R.A. MacAvoy. Tolkein (I read and reread Tolkein so many times the first 2 decades of my life that it's hardly necessary to reread; I can recite them verbatim, but I still reread once every 5 years or so.)

Actually I have seven tall shelves stuffed full of books that I reread periodically. When I reach the point that I realize I no longer need to reread them, I pass them on, making room for new passions.

Some of those books have been there for 35 years, lol.
