As a lifelong bookaholic, this book made me start thinking about those books which have impacted the most on my life. The author, for example, has found herself re-reading Middlemarch by George Eliot, over and over again throughout different eras of her lifetime and finding new meaning or impact each time. In my own case, there are several books and authors I've re-read many times - the Brontes, Austen, P.G. Wodehouse (when I need a laugh so badly I can taste it!), Salinger, etc. But if I had to pick one book that I've read so many times it's nearly thread-bare, it would be Colette's "My Mother's House", one of the most beautiful tributes to family and love I've ever come across.
