I tend to reread the same book over and over, I always come back to it. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. My girlfriend is a writer and studied literature, and can't understand why, but I guess I find it difficult to invest time in a book which may not turn out to be fantastic. I can walk out of a movie, change the music or switch over the TV, but I don't have the patience to trawl 200 pages into a new book to find that it's crap.
I look forward to the day I can download books to my brain via USB, and just delete the rubbish.
