The Sign of a Well-Loved Book is a Creased Spine

I am a book nerd. I could spend hours and hours reading. I have even gave up sleeping so I could finish a book I was reading. 

As much as I read, I only own about 15 of my favorite books. They all have deeply creased spines from the many times I have read them. 

I've been asked multiple times as to why I've reread them. My answer is simple. I like to relive them like you relive your favorite moments. In extreme detail. 

They're an escape of some sort. Even when I have no need to escape. 

They're a window into a life that I don't have. 

They're the creased spines of well loved books.
