I wonder if you could request the book. I know there are a couple titles I've been meaning to work my way through. Then again, would you really want to snuggle down to

Somewhat like the readable clothing in Un Lun Dun.
I would surely snuggle down with the letters from Octavian. Perhaps not the more gruesome bits, but I could fall asleep with Evidence and Fruition.
I'd thought I'd put my book under my pillow and night once it came out. But this is even better!
