    If you can tell me how many times you've read your favorite book and the number is lower than 25, I don't know if I will believe you that it's your favorite. Now for oneRachel Martin said on Wednesday, a copy of Richard Matheson's was returned to the library in Great Falls, Mont. Here's the thing, though, the book had been gone since 1982, and it hadn't even been checked out. A man, who didn't identify himself, said the guilt of stolen book had gotten to be too much for him over the years. So, he had the book restored and gave it back along with a $200 donation and an apology note. As the the man wrote that the book is "one of the, if not greatest sci-fi/romance stories ever written; it's absolutely fascinating." He also said over the 35 years that he had the book, he read the sci-fi love story at least 25 times, and somewhere in between all that reading he actually met the author before his death in 2013. Now if you want to read this one, it's probably better to check it out from your library, and just make sure you return it before the due date.
