With a big snow predicted for Manhattan, I am searching for reading material to carry me through the long hours between walks such as the character above enjoyed in a previous snow. Today, I read a fascinating review of a book on Doestevsky at The Wall Street Journal and who could resist the five best books on hypochondria also reviewed here. Even with expedited Internet ordering and delivery, none will arrive before the first flakes begin to cover the ground and the sidewalks become glacial. So once again I delve into the old standbys on the shelf –fortunately, they never disappoint.
