Books that Fall Apart

Have you ever read a book until the type was faded and the cover was separating from the pages?

I love books I can read over and over again. Unfortunately, I hardly have any in my whole history of reading. I watch certain movies more than once so I don't know why books don't get the same treatment.
I reread more books when I was younger than I do now. Is it because I grew out of them or that I search for new stuff more often?

One of the only books I reread is the Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters. The whole book contains poems about different people who live in a small town and their lives, secrets, and lies. It is poetic gossip. Some of the lines in there still haunt my thoughts.

What are the books you can't leave alone?

  1. Every year, I reread the HP series. I've read 'The Odyssey' many times, Edgar Allan Poe's poetry, Narmia. Oh heck. I reread lots of books.
