Continuing my re-reading of books, I picked up The Fionavar Tapestry to re-read.
I always assume that if I've kept a book it's because I liked it a whole lot and usually the fantasy ones I've kept I really liked.
But I picked this one up and, first of all, didn't immediately recall the story. Which is fine, means I get to re-read it and likely not know what's coming, but now I'm not sure I'm enjoying it. Which is confusing and surprising me. I'm going to keep reading, maybe it's a slow start, but yeah. Strange reading it and going... huh... I liked this? I guess it's ok?
Maybe not all the books I've kept are as good as I remember them after all?

That happens... I've gone back to read something and been "Oh, hey, I'm not sure this is as good as I remember."
Yep. This summer may turn into the summer of re-reading and purging!
Comfort reading?
I'm mixing HALO series novels with history books this summer. It's going well.
Oh, and philosophy... picked up a reader of Chinese philosophy that should go a long way to making me feel more intellectual than I really am.
In theory this should be comfort reading for me too, re-reading old favourites :)
