I'm like Kurt - feel the tug so often of books I haven't yet read - that I rarely reread books. Sometimes I regret it hough and Ann Fadiman's works rang true, especially her father's admonition that you see more of yourself every time you re-read a book.

There is one book I've re-read multiple times - The Dairy of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. When I was Anne's age and I read it, I identified strongly with her. As the years passed, with every re-reading (or re-reading of a part of it), I became more understanding of her parents and saw the situation very differently from how it had affected me as a pre-teen.
