There’s something about reading the ending of a good story that you know well enough to not necessarily have to read the whole thing to be reminded of everything again. Particularly if it’s simply a good ending, not needing to tie up every single plot, recognizing that not all questions in our lives find answers before our deaths, that the endings in and of themselves can be the start or continuation of a new plot line that was never expected.

For some reason, it brings me a certain peace to read an ending like that.
