I think comfort is the reason for me. The books I keep re-reading are not necessarily the best ones. They're the ones that make me feel good. I think that's the reason my re-reads don't last forever. The books I re-read 20 years ago are not the same I re-read now. Or maybe it's just that I get tired of them after a while.
There are many ways to be a book lover. My mother is a great book lover and she doesn't re-read books. I'm a book lover too and I re-read often.
