\"Fireplace-Tea-Books-300x199\"<\/a>Here in the Northeast, we are all hunkering down for what could be a lot of snow, or at least a little slush. Either way, it will be a weekend for staying indoors with a good book, and we asked some of our bookish friends what they recommend for such occasions.<\/em><\/p>\n

I Capture The Castle<\/em>, by Dodie Smith, and Laurie Colwin! \u2014Emily Gould, writer, founder of Emily Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am reading a dated but rad detective novel called The Daughter of Time<\/em>, by Josephine Tey, wherein a detective laid up in the hospital clears King Richard III of the crime of murdering his nephews using deductive logic and dubious speculation. This is part of my ongoing celebration of Richard III\u2019s skeleton\u2019s coming-out-the-closet or whatever you call it. Otherwise keeping busy with hoarding seltzer\/Snackwell\u2019s vanilla cremes. So this is a pretty normal weekend for me.\u00a0\u2014Pete Beatty, editor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now I find myself on page 1400 of Proust, by circumstance. Hoping to make some real headway in the next forty-eight. (Yesterday I was reading it on the A train, and this woman got down on her knees to look up to see what was the giant book I had in my hand. Like, she could have asked. Maybe she was saving me the pretension of responding, \u201cProust.\u201d) \u2014Brian Ulicky, publicist<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Really really ridiculously short Maugham novels.\u00a0\u201c\u2018If there\u2019s anything I dislike it\u2019s the violin,\u2019 she answered. \u2018Why one should want to hear anyone scrape the hair of a horse\u2019s tail against the guts of a dead cat is something I shall never understand.\u2019\u201d \u2014Molly Young, writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be reading Goodnight Moon<\/em> to my seven-month-old daughter. \u2014Alexander Nazaryan, editor, writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be flying to Jerusalem at nine o\u2019clock tomorrow night, blizzard permitting, but in extreme wintry weather I generally take the traditional approach: a cat, a big pot of soup, and the Victorians\u2014Dickens, the Bront\u00ebs, and Hardy especially. But lately I\u2019ve had a hankering to revisit Henry James and Edith Wharton. And my friend Michael Dahlie\u2019s love for Trollope reminds me how little of his work I\u2019ve read, and how long ago. So I\u2019ve got plenty standing by to gorge myself on, if not in this snowstorm, then the next one. \u2014Maud Newton, writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had this copy of Climates<\/i>, by\u00a0Andr\u00e9 Maurois staring at me for months. I cracked it open last night, and think that\u2019s my main book for the next few days. I also picked up a nice copy of Edmund Wilson\u2019s The Twenties<\/i> that I\u2019ve been meaning to read. I think that this weekend I\u2019ll make some spiked apple cider and do just that. \u2014Jason Diamond, editor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hermione Lee\u2019s biography of Virginia Woolf is a dedicated read. But it\u2019s perfect for this kind of weather. Especially if you\u2019re all caught up with Downton Abbey<\/em>. Another one, which I did last winter, was Jane Smiley\u2019s The Greenlanders<\/em>. You will be glad you are stuck in your apartment and not on the southern tip of Greenland during the fourteenth century! And finally, if you\u2019re stuck indoors with friends and a lot of booze, I suggest playing a game called Humiliation, which was introduced to me by my housemate and Daily<\/em> correspondent Jonathan Gharraie. You confess a title you haven\u2019t read; those who have read it, drink. The point is not to get sauced, but also to avoid sounding uneducated. But with blizzards around, it\u2019ll give you a pretty\u00a0exhaustive (though\u00a0totally predictable) reading list. Some titles that emerged from Iowa the other week: Moby-Dick<\/em>, Middlemarch<\/em>, The Great Gatsby<\/em>, War and Peace<\/em>, and In Search of Lost Time<\/em>! \u2014Thessaly La Force, writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Death at Pemberley<\/em> by P.\u2009D. James. \u2014Flora Esterly, book scout<\/strong><\/p>\n

I crave the Bront\u00ebs during storms because they always bring chaos (both mental and thematic) and trauma (both physical and emotional) and isn\u2019t that what we expect from a storm of any real magnitude? Wuthering Heights<\/em> is more for a tempest that comes in fits and starts because the book is the same way\u2014getting lost and fading and coming thundering back with fierceness you didn\u2019t think possible. Also, because I\u2019m not actually going to reread the whole thing, as it is sort of a mess, and I can walk away being glad I had my time with Heathcliff but don\u2019t have to live with him\u2014even for a few days. I prefer Jane and Mr. Rochester for a prolonged and expected storm like this because you need time to settle in with her\u2014and even more time to trust him\u2014and then you hit the eye of the storm and think how you were born in the wrong century and then the eye passes and everything\u2019s on fire and there\u2019s a crazy lady in the attack and you need a couple days to forgive everyone and sleep it off. \u2014Alex Leo,\u00a0head of product,\u00a0reuters.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter Freuchen\u2019s Arctic Adventure<\/i>, to know that however bad it might get, it was worse for him. Imagine being in an igloo faced with the decision to go outside into the storm and freeze, or stay in the igloo, where every breath adds a layer of ice to the inside. \u2014Hamish Robertson, digital design editor at Vanity Fair<\/i> and editor of Afterzine<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

The guilt-inducing pile of New Yorker<\/em>s that make me call my subscription into question. My new edition of Vanity Fair<\/em>, illustrated by Donald Urquart, given to me for my fortieth birthday by Eva Wiseman and Kay Barron. The Mandarins<\/em>, recommended by Stephen Pastel but which I never got \u2019round to reading. Or most probably, my diary on this day in every year since I started writing it, at age eleven. \u2014Penny Martin, editor, The Gentlewoman<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

King Lear<\/em> seems appropriate. \u2014Adam Wilson, writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am reading Katharine\u00a0Graham\u2019s Personal History<\/em>\u2014a surprisingly raw but warming memoir from\u00a0the Washington doyenne\/publisher of the Post<\/em>. I have also been\u00a0studying my small Smithsonian Weather Guide.\u00a0\u2014Louisa Thomas, writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Denis Johnson\u2019s Train Dreams<\/em> and Pete Dexter\u2019s Spooner<\/em>. Or watching Seven Samurai<\/em>, which is also my hangover movie. \u2014Tim Small, editor, The Milan Review<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I actually read The Thirty-Nine Steps<\/em>. Quite frequently! The plot\u2019s just twisty enough, and my memory just bad enough, and Hitchcock\u2019s version just different enough, that Buchan still keeps me wondering what will happen next, even after so many reads. Though I do remember, each time, now, to expect a nemesis with \u201chooded eyes\u201d\u2014how chilling is that!? \u2014Tallis Eng, writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Twitter feeds of comedians Eugene Mirman, Jena Friedman, Dave Hill, and Joe Mande.\u00a0\u2014John Ortved, writer<\/strong><\/p>\n
