lol, i didnt mean to offend anyone with my comment! We are ALL book lovers here, thats a given! What i meant was it would take a book lover to UNDERSTAND the concept of re-reading books... this is not to say you HAVE to love re-reading in order to be a book lover! My dad is a biggest book lover you would find, but he rarely re-reads. Nevertheless, he would never EVER throw a book out. On the other hand, I have plenty of friends who dont read books at all, let alone re-read then - wouldn't expect them to understand why i seem to always have an odd copy of a, say, Ray Bradbury book on my bedside table along with thatever i am reading now.
In fact, sometimes i'd rather re-read than make an effort to read a new book - not a particularly good thing.

Phew, hope i made sense there!
