It’s only February, but amidst the chilly winter days I am already searching for hints of the approaching spring. With Easter falling in March this year and the days getting longer, I am reminded of how spring represents a season of rebirth and rejuvenation --- and it’s something I look forward to every year. But with some brisk days still ahead of us, here are some titles to get you through them.

Well, I got a lot of mail last week from people who were chastising me about not having a book for the car when I was stuck in traffic. I realize now that just as we have backup LightWedges in the car to ensure that passengers can read in the dark, I need to stash books into the map pockets to ensure there are backup books available. My new slogan: "I will not be caught without a book again." As I say this I point my finger like those old Smokey Bear (Internet Trivia of the Day: Note why he's not Smokey the Bear here.) ads where he talks about how YOU can prevent forest fires.
Name up to three books that you just could not put down.
