December Daily: comfort media

[resonant]

dorinda - Top 5 comfort movies? Or comfort reads, if you'd rather

Comfort media, then. Mostly books.

5. Lilo & Stitch.
4. Katherine Addison's The Goblin Emperor.
3. Samuel Delany's Babel-17.
2. Cyrano de Bergerac. (I'm not sure what translation I had in high school -- possibly the Louis Untermeyer one, from Dover Thrift? A while back I read the Anthony Burgess one and I liked it OK, but of course there are lines I remember vividly from that old translation that Burgess just doesn't do justice to.)
1. Terry Pratchett -- the complete works, really, but I think my most re-read is the seasonally appropriate Hogfather.
