Weekly Update: Some Books Feel Like Coming Home


Listen Later

This week on Page Chewing, I'm talking about the books currently on my nightstand and a question every reader eventually faces: why do we reread books we've already finished?

I share my ongoing rereads of The Bonehunters and The Darkness That Comes Before, discuss why some stories become comfort reads while others are one-and-done experiences, and explore how our relationship with books changes as we grow older. Are rereads a waste of time, or do great books reveal something new every time we return to them?

Along the way, I chat about The Prophet, Lone Wolf and Cub, Carpentry and the Elven Forest, revisiting Fight Club, and why slowing down and appreciating the stories we love might be more important than chasing the next big thing.

What are you reading this week? And what's one book you'll never stop coming back to?
