"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all."
- Oscar Wilde
I'm not sure I would agree with this one, but it does make one think. There are many books that I enjoyed reading but I have no desire to read again. I would change this to "If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in keeping it." But then, I'm something of a bookaholic.

I definitely agree more with your quote. There are but a few books I enjoy rereading.
I'd change it to: "if I book was worth reading once it's worth keeping around the house."
Oscar should have mentioned how he knew a book was worth reading without reading it. :)
I wish I could say the same, Travis, but I actually have a very large number I enjoy re-reading.
Charles, your quote made me envision a book wrapped around a house, but then I'm feeling a but silly today. :-)
Very good point, Bernard, and an excellent question.
