Re-reading a book, or series is like a comfy pair of old shoes, or that special throw blanket you curl up with on the couch or favorite chair. It's a comfort thing.
Sometimes new books are too much of the unexpected or a challenge to read, when all you really want to do is RELAX, and feel wrapped up in something familiar.
I've got several sets of books I re-read every year.... All my Robert Heinlein and Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, and a few others. But then, I can read most of those cover-to-cover in a day or so. After I've gotten that particular "need" out of my system, I move on to something new.
The Best of Both Worlds is those few times that a favorite Author comes out with a new book!
