Rereading books

LeavaoDe @LeavaoDe (349) • United States 29 Jun 09

I read books over and over again if I love it. For example, I love Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark/Dream Hunter's series and read them many times. I find that each time I read them I find something new in them. Something that didn't click...

Do you keep books you most enjoyed?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31044) • United Kingdom 29 May 09

If I read a library book and I really enjoy it I tend to buy a copy of it. I might read it again one day but it feels lovely to own a book that I really love. I find it challenging to send books to the charity shop. My book case...

porygon @porygon (2) • Philippines 25 May 09

sam1slim1 First of all, I would have to know more. If you are teaching in high school or below, I say you need to be fired or you need to quit. There is no way that a teacher should be involved with a student even if you are not that much older than your student(s)....

sam1slim1 That's a hard one. I'm married, but I am secure in my relationship so I have never had this problem, but if I did I would not be able to completely ignore my 'feelings'. Most of the time you have to go with that. If your instincts are telling you something is...

sam1slim1 I don't know if I should say exactly what I think or not. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but maybe what I say will not have an impact at all. If you love him like it is implied that you do, then you have to trust what he says. If you keep behaving the way...
