This being December, I am reading through Everyman's Pocket Classics' Anthology of Christmas Stories. These are a collection of authors throughout the ages ranging from Charles Dickens to Alice Munro. I'm on Nikolai Gogol's Night Before Christmas, which is about this blacksmith trying to win over the town Aphrodites against the opposition of her father and the devil, who put out the moon. Also, his mother is a man-juggling witch with the hots for the local farmer.
I also am reading The Fellowship with intent to pay attention this time. A lot of it reads more like a field guide than an actual novel. I need to get on Ngyao Marsh's Christmas themed novel. There's a book of murder mysteries set at Christmas called "Murder for Christmas" that has some authors that I need to check out.
