Packing

What are your favorite comfort reads? Which books do you reach for when you're sad or harried or upset? And why? Or don't you read that way, and what do you do instead?

Timprov has a theory that it's easier to learn from someone who is near your own level of writing than from someone a million miles better than you (or worse, but no one usually makes that claim).

Oh, yes! That's a good theory. I think you probably learn a lot from reading those far ahead of you, but it's a different sort of learning, where the good stuff sneaks into your brain and maybe later you'll be able to process it. Whereas the near-own-level sorts you can maybe consciously figure out what they're doing and how and why.

Lackey books are a fuzzy memory for me. A pleasant fuzzy memory, though.
