The first book I ever re-read was The Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I was maybe 12 years old. I loved that book! About survival, resourcefulness, coming of age… I’d probably start reading it again right now if I had it. If someone invests all the time necessary to re-read a book, that book has gotta say something about them as a person, right? (I don’t know what it would mean exactly. But, something!) Plus, as an English major I just love books and readers and re-readers! 100 bonus points to your date if he/she is a re-reader!
