Winter Reading

We have reached winter. The snow has yet to stay, but the cold is and slowly the more so. It seems like only a week or so ago that I saw the leaf in the picture below. While probably the best ward against winter I have seen yet, the snow came the very next morning.

In any case, it is a lovely reason to be inside with tea and a book. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say school work and a tea, given the schedule of the university. I am taking a class focusing on the gothic novel, the result of which has been a great deal of classic horror reading. I had not read much out that genre prior to this, but coupled with the weather and the coziness inside, it has been very enjoyable. "The Innocents" is on the agenda for tonight. It is based on the book "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James, one of my favourites from this course.
