Jason BoogMay 12 2024

Between my own childhood and reading to my own kids, I have read “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” approximately 523,142 times. And I still get teary-eyed every time Charlie Bucket opens the corner of his chocolate bar, looking for his golden ticket.I asked my fellow editors to tell me about the books they've re-read the most.
