Do you have a "comfort" novel or novels you re-read on a semi-regular basis?

I enjoy from time to time a "popular science" book.

Limit (2009) by Frank Schatzing.
Yes, it is 1,328 pages long, but I don't care.

boomer paperbacks. not only are they comfy and fun, but I do find I get a bit inspired by the "men of action" characters.

How do you reread the detectives? As soon as I vaguely remember the final resolution it kills my interest.

Sometimes the story and setting is more interesting than the resolution. Same reason I can keep rereading Sherlock Holmes.

When life gets too serious, I spend time with the absurdity of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves.

Satantango is so bleak and the Esti chapter is horrible tho.

for a while it was infinite jest. Now it's The Last Samurai and then I'll usually rewatch Seven Samurai after rereading it.

Borges' short stories. I'll turn to a volume of them in the aftermath of finishing a major work of literature, and I'll just read them for a few weeks as a "cool down" read.
