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.) R.
