I love having really long books to read when it s wintertime. Although it is harder to read them when Im nursing as I sort of hold them over my son's head while he nurses, and they are heavy but anyone have good suggestions of long novels? I just read Marie Antoinette, a biography, by Antonia Fraser and it is very long and I highly recommend it! Oh, Anna Karenina is another lovely book for winter. Oh, Aims, I know you're going into summer, though...Oh, Lord of the Rings is a great winter read.  |

Hehe thanks for remembering my backwards/futuristic situation, Elizabeth  It got me thinking about what kind of stuff is good for summer reading though. I guess light-hearted, humourous stuff? But then, I often feel funny stuff is better for winter, when it's easy to get down from the gloomy weather. So I don't know. All I do know, is that I have a stack of books that are waiting to be read, and I'm going to try and get a through a lot of books this summer. Three weeks forced leave from work over Christmas, after all... :\ |

Hmm. I seem to like reading horror and suspense--and comics!--a lot during winter. Maybe it's because I'm working a lot during that time and I can't devote as much time to reading as I wish I could. Still, I want to keep it up, so horror (Stephen King and such) are good because mostly they're kind of fluffy in content but still exciting, and they're HUGE.

Oh, I have Anna Karenina, but I've never read it. Maybe I'll pick it up and check it out.  Elizabeth, have you read Harry Potter? It's a long read and it's awesome. xo |

Elizabeth, this winter has been ridiculously warm in Finland (we have had barely any snow when usually at this time of the year we have tons!) so unfortunately I haven't needed to find a good winter book. :/
And I haven't read any horror in ages, either. Well, except The House of Leaves which kiiiiinda is horror. Or horrifying, at least. Hmm actually it's a pretty good "snuggle in some corner and read with a glass of wine"-kind of a book.
