I felt inspired to start re-reading Diana Wynne Jones. She is one of my favourite authors and I feel that even her weakest books are still a good read. Despite recurring themes like; multiple universes, a protagonist with no, or weak magic really being very powerful, abusive parental figures and clever cats, she never gets boring, and the books always take unexpected and interesting twists.
