In the past few years I've re-read all the Murderbot novels, Dune, Neuromancer and other classic science fiction titles, all the Rivers of London novels, and some thrillers that I read when I was much younger. Many of these re-reads have been audiobooks, which I don't read very often. I suppose you can call them comfort reads, familiar but still entertaining. It may also be an artifact of Covid. I've been re-reading more since Covid than in the past.
