I also revisit old friends and feel comfort in rereading. But what I have noticed is that in time I see the same book in a different way. My life experience changes and things I omitted or, rather didn't think much of while reading it long time ago now matter.
Example: I read "Kristin daughter of Lavrans" by Sigrid Undset many moons ago while being single and not being a mum. Now I can relate to the characters in a more mature way, see and understand more. About myself too.
