A friend of mine once told me he had seen at least 5-10 of his favorite movies more then 20 times, I thought he was completely off his rocker. And now you tell me you've read a book for 100 times ? For what, to put yourself to sleep ? Because you must know it by heart by now...
No offense to your personal tastes, it's just this is one of the more bizarre things I've heard of... |
I've been told I'm weird that I can read the same book multiple times, but I can and I do. IMO its weird not to read a
good book at least 5 times. It's like visiting old friends. I can’t believe you have only read your favorites 2-3 times.

I would agree. While it’s certainly
possible I’ve read a few that many times, I’ve never counted. And I agree with the cookbooks, too. None of my cookbooks are in pristine condition, especially since I try to flatten them out while cooking. I’m not feeling too confident about using my ereader while cooking, so that will stay a paper activity.
