"Om im, lend me your knife."

I'm reading Hellspark again; can't remember how many times I've read it since it was first published, back in the late '80s. It's one of my comfort books, along with Pride and Prejudice, The Witches of Karres, Cotillion, and The War for the Oaks.

So -- what are your comfort books?

Mmm...comfort books...

Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings (all three of them)
Pratchett, Feet of Clay and Small Gods
Herodotus, The Histories
Seutonius, Twelve Caesars
Saint-Exupéry, le Petit Prince

A list like that makes me think that you must be a scholar.

Heh...and I left off Peter Ackroyd's "London: The Biography" (a book I do not hesitate to recommend).

But no scholar, just your typical SF fan who has far too many interests!
