I'm studying the Odessey for a uni course that I am taking at the moment. It makes me feel nostalgic as it reminds me of Percy Jackson, a book series that I loved when I was a teenager. I was very obsessed eith Greek mythology but stopped reading the book series when I got older. Should I go back and read the new Percy Jackson novels? I am 20 and I know that I am technically too old for this book series, but damn, reading the Odessey is making me feel so nostalgic!

A catharsis is very important to one's well being. Leaving a lot of things in your life unfinished can have a negative effect on your life. So I'd do it.

Freud pls go
Either way I don't see a harm in reading old books from your past, as long as they are not a way for you to be a child again

I tried reading them pretty recently because I had read and liked one when I was like 13. I stopped after the second one. They are aimed at children and young teenagers, the author spells everything out for you and never expects you to think for yourself. Which is fine if you're around that age, but really boring otherwise.
So I'd say no. Unless the newer books are aimed at older people.
