Spence: Rediscovering Literary Faves

There's very little about the process of moving that can be called fun, but one thing that comes to mind is rediscovering favorite books as you pack and unpack. When I relocated to the Palouse a few weeks ago, at least half my boxes were full of books. Putting them back in place was like getting re-acquainted with old friends. I don't know how many volumes I have, but just seeing them line the shelves gives me a feeling of contentment no Kindle or electronic reader could ever match. One of the best books I've ever read was "Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea," by Gary Kinder. I may have mentioned it in an earlier column, but if it's good enough for a second and third read, it's good enough for a second mention/William Spence, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Do you ever re-read books? Which one(s)? Why?
