13. Not so much with reading

But I do have some that I listen to over and over as audiobooks: The Hobbit. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich. The Bosch Series by Michael Connelly. Bridget Jones' Diary, although I have to make sure I'm not in a spot where I would disturb someone with the outbursts of laughter from that one.

Those are the ones I can think of, off the top of my head.

When I was middle-school age, I re-read books all the time because I lived in the boonies, with no public libraries for 30 or more miles, and of course no car of my own. That meant I had to make do with the books I had. I probably read All the President's Men 50 times for that reason. There were others, but that was the one I remember re-reading the most.

Nowadays, I have plenty of books to choose from, either treeware or e-books, along with public library access, so I don't re-read books anymore. I can't even remember the last time I re-read something.
