I like the idea of literary comfort food, too. That would have to be <i>The Lord of the Rings</i> for me. :)Maia Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352482028469213261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-16040379904554804932011-08-30T16:52:08.580-04:002011-08-30T16:52:08.580-04:00Extremes of weather definitely can affect what I d...Extremes of weather definitely can affect what I decide to read. Even with A/C, when it's high summer (which lasts for-freaking-EVER here in GA) I crave light and fluffy. And in winter or during major storms, I want the literary equivalent of comfort food (I read a lot of Louisa May Alcott and Mercedes Lackey from Dec-Feb). But in the in-between times (Mar/Apr and Oct/Nov) I like stuff I can really sink my teeth in, sometimes smart non-fiction but sometimes rich and complex romance.<br /><br />And sometimes I run across an author who can make me think even when it's too hot, make me crave the discomfort even as I lean toward cozy hibernation...tracykitnreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179481691225822227noreply@blogger.com
