I just got to your post! Good stuff. (The computer at work has a filter on it so that I can read lj but not log in to post or comment so I popped off to the library to make this post and then couldn't access your post back at work LOL)

I completely get where you're coming from with the comfort reading and the repetition. Your post made me realize that fandom is not where I go for that, interestingly enough. My comfort reading is all novels I've read before or magazines (with lots of pictures!!)
