It looks as if the rain will never stop here.  But what better way to
enjoy a stormy night than with a good book?  And where better than in
bed?  Right now, the bed is Edwardian brass; the quilt a Hutterite (see
net.religion) wool comforter; the book, the autobiography of V.
Stefannson (Arctic explorer); the tea, Lapsang Souchong; and the apples,
Macintosh.  
  
Are there others out there who enjoy RIB as much as I do?  When? How?
Why? Where? What?  What refinements do you add to this most refined
of pleasures?  What books have you most enjoyed?  (My all-time favorite:
Wilkie Collins' "The Woman in White".  Are there other Collins lovers
in net.books?  If so, see net.travel. By the way, I have a Dover copy
of his "Tales of Terror and the Supernatural" that I haven't read:
even though it's supposed to be very good, I don't relish being scared.)
