One of the many wonderful things about being a book lover is the ability to lose one's self in a "comfort read." Whether that means a light and fluffy story to take our mind off troubled times, a bleak and dreary story to remind us that the present isn't all that bad, or something in between, there's a comforting book out there for everyone.
