@deinol I learned the hard way, do not read book you liked as a little whelp. I realised that I my brain had added stuff which was better than the original, and as a more mature reader I found topic and themes that … had not aged gracefully.
I instead find myself in an ever increasing flood of new authors, indie and self pub that fills my reading time.
(Although right now I’m in a slump and hiding from my TBR which is terrible)
