Books to Re-read

Everyone asks me why I collect my favorite books? They ask if I've ever re-read any and I always say "no". I always thought it was because when you read a book, it becomes part of your life. I read Stephen King a lot when I was a teenager and not so much now, but my favorite book was Pet Semetary. I remember reading it all day! Anyway, Stephen King wrote a comment/review on the back of a book I was reading and he said something to the effect of he hardly ever re-reads a book because there are too many books and so little time. I thought - "exactly!" Now I think, I have them for my kids. I want them to have something to remember me by and that is my books. I feel like they are part of me. I have my favorites which I've been collecting in hard cover and I enjoy that. I love to know that maybe one day my daughter will be sitting in her home and reading something I did also.
