"In the Dozy Hours, and Other Papers" by Agnes Repplier is a compilation of essays from the late 1800s that examines different ideas about books and the happiness found in life's simple moments, viewed with a thoughtful and funny approach. These works give an understanding of favorite writers while thinking about the effect reading has on our lives, prompting you to consider reading's effect on our daily experiences. Beginning with the idea of reading as a peaceful and refreshing thing, the work is nostalgic, reminding us of earlier simpler times and feelings. Referencing authors, it talks about their skill in relaxing us when we need comfort, when life is hard and your mind needs a break. The author considers how our favorite books are comforting and connect us to happy times while understanding the sadness of remembering stories that cannot be fully relived. The tone is welcoming as readers explore later essays in the work.
