Plus, it's like revisiting beloved old friends.
And even these will cause me to read when I should be doing other things, because I want (and do not want!) them to end. Even though I know the ending... And in the end, I always berate myself for finishing that book that fast as now I'll have to wait some time again before I can read it (again).
