Treasures Found in Books!

I found this the other day on Pinterest. I have no idea whom to give credit, so if you do, please let me know. I wanted to post it any way, because it rings a bell with me. Read this statement below.

These are two of my all time favorite books. And by ALL TIME, I mean, I have read each of these books over five times each. Yes... it's excessive. However, I've read these books at different stages in my life.

Each time I crack open these "Classics," there is a new treasure hidden within their pages. I usually think, "How did I miss this?" or "Wow! Are you kidding me?!" 
Each time the book's pages get marked with a blue ink pen. Each time I read them, the corners of the pages are folded to mark my place. Each time I read them, they get left on the nightstand with their binding stretched to the max. Worn. Weathered. Loved. And oddly familiar, yet new. 
I read scenes I've read thousands of times before and recall the exact thought I had at the exact time I had last read it. A little piece of myself hidden amongst the pages. Memories of me. My thoughts. My feelings. My imagination. 
It somewhat astounds my husband that I can read the same book twice or even seven times! (Portrait of a Lady)... But when you read the above message and realize the truth behind it, how can you not? I encourage you to try and reread a book you once loved. See what you find! And hey, let me know! :) I can tell you right now, I was as much in love with Lord Warburton in the eighth grade as I am now... as well as Mr. Darcy. ;)

So my questions for you guys are this:
What are your favorite books? What books have you read over and over again? 
And what have you found out about yourself within those pages? 

I'm curious. 
So let me know. ;)
