Whether you rush to buy the latest book or haven’t read one in years, picking up a book you have already read can be very enjoyable. Here are a couple of reasons why: They give us comfort. The familiarity of the characters and settings will feel like you are revisiting an old friend or coming home again. There is something warm and welcoming about that.
