I want to keep a book aside as the last book I’m going to read when I’m very, very old.

    I wouldn’t wait to read something I actually want to read, because life and death is unpredictable.

    I would rather plan to reread a book at different stages of life and find out how much I’ve changed by how differently feel about the same story.

    Or I’d (re)read something like House of Leaves, just because it’d be very funny to have that type of book be the thing that finally kills me.
