i TOTALLY recommend bookaddict43's recommendations of Connie Willis... you will love them.
i agree with the concept of comfort books - i have a large number of them that i do reread because they invoke that 'feeling' everytime.
one in particular that does it is "Restoree" by Anne McCaffery. It's her first book. and she wrote cos she was tired of seeing weak female characters in sci-fi books so she wrote an strong woman lead-character.
totally recommend it.
i tend to reread my more humourous book like Janet Evanovich (stephanie plum series) and Charlaine Harris (sookie stackhous series).
any give 'restoree' a go if you haven't read it already!
