On this forum, there will probably be "official" rules, but as with the original forum, there are 4 rules everyone needs to remember: No discussions about Religion, No discussions about Politics, Don't be a Dick!, Have Fun!

What's everyone's comfort read?
Hi everyone, I'm currently off work with a bad back, so to cheer myself up I've started to re-read Naked in Death, it got me thinking, does anyone else have a specific book within the series that you love to re-read?, if so which book and why?
Re: What's everyone's comfort read?
Mine is Treachery. I’m not sure why, except maybe because it’s so satisfying in so many ways. There’s also some really funny moments, and not very much blood and gore.

Re: What's everyone's comfort read?
If I am rereading about my favorite exploits, my go to is a recent one with Framed In Death. LOVE the googly eyes and sound effects.
After Dallas (finally) finished her paperwork, she decided “she deserved a reward. Forget trophies, medals, cash prizes. She wanted candy.”
After easing her door shut, she turned her desk chair over. “With her penknife, she carefully unscrewed the wheeled base, lifted it.
Instead of the jumbo chocolate bar, she stared down at a jumbo smiley face sticker. A big yellow smiley face with googly eyes.
‘Son of a bitch!’ Because it looked puffy, she pressed a finger on it.
As the googly eyes shook, it went ‘Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!’
‘That’s not funny.’
Maybe a little funny, she admitted, but now the insidious Candy Thief mocked her. Stealing her candy stash wasn’t enough for them now?
She sat a moment plotting revenge. Coating the next bar with liquid laxative before stashing it came to mind, and felt very satisfying. But, as lieutenant, she couldn’t afford to have anyone in her bullpen suddenly shitting their pants while in the pursuit of justice. And yet as she stared down at the smiley face, she seriously weighed serve and protect against vengeance.
She’d think about it.
She replaced the wheelbase, righted the chair. To comfort herself, she looked at her cleared desk and told herself good work required no reward.” - Framed in Death, Chapter 12
If I go further back, the blue dye with the alarm trigger started in Leverage and went thorugh Connections and Vendetta. That was a good run.
