A friend of mine let me borrow Dune 1-3. I loved them and felt I would definitely re-read Dune. When the deluxe box set of 1-3 came out I bought it but it is just sitting on my shelf. I do plan on rereading them but probably not for awhile. Sometimes I also just like having the books I’ve read on my shelf as “trophies”.
Well I do buy books I have read before but I want tk read again. Something else I’ve been doing lately is that I have a really nice acquaintance/friend who really likes reading books but she’s in an economic situation where she can’t afford to buy a lot of them. She also has two children who also enjoy reading. So sometimes I buy books, read them and then just gift them to her. I enjoy doing this, she’s such a nice person and since there aren’t any good libraries close by where I live, I will be buying these books anyway (I’m fortunate enough to do so, they’re ridiculously expensive).
