By the flicker of the flames

     With snow here today and temperatures (for us) very low, what better than another spot of fireside reading. Last year's post sparked some good suggestions for books to get cosy with; I asked Mr. C. just now what he might reach for, if not his favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, and he offered something by that very fine travel writer Eric Newby, possibly Love and War in the Apennines. In turn, I'd add to the ghost stories I mentioned last time round and suggest Michelle Paver's wonderfully chilling Dark Matter. How about you? Anything you'd particularly like to read by the flicker of the flames?
