Classic Books You Never Need to Read Again

"Avid readers often have at least one or two books they've cracked open more than a couple of times. These stories are important because they offer a sense of connection for their readers and challenge them to think outside of their immediate experiences. That said, just because one person can read The Secret Garden over and over doesn't mean the children's novel is valuable to everyone who lays eyes on it. And just because a title is ranked among the best books of all time doesn't mean everyone wants to reread it over and over."
