There’s nothing more comforting than curling up with a good book and losing yourself in the words within the pages, temporarily shutting out the trials and worries of the outside world. This experience is only improved when the story is familiar. We all have books that we love, those that we gravitate back to for different reasons at different stages of life. Maybe it’s nostalgia or a need to remind ourselves of the morals woven into the tales, but something is calming about a tale we know almost as well as our own. Even the most familiar stories can surprise us, though.

I have a drink in my hand, there is a bottle at my elbow. I watch my reflection in the darkening gleam of the window pane. My reflection is tall, perhaps rather like an arrow, my blond hair gleams. My face is like a face you have seen many times. My ancestors conquered a continent, pushing across death-laden plains, until they came to an ocean which faced away from Europe into a darker past.” A book’s total score is based on multiple factors, including the number of people who have voted for it and how highly those voters ranked the book.
