In Case of Emergency
After giving myself a month off after finishing the revisions of Knife (well, not counting the crash-and-burn I did at the end of February when I was trying to work on Touching Indigo and my brain was having none of it), I resolved to start in on Wayfarer again, and try to reestablish the habit of writing 2-3 hours a day, every day.
The first session today went... not so well. In fact, it was positively depressing. After a while I gave up and tried to read one of the books my editor sent me, but I just wasn't feeling the love. So I turned to one of my favorite comfort reads, Patricia McKillip's The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, and it felt like relaxing into a warm mental bath. Even my tortured inner line-editor shut up after the first few pages.
What are your favorite comfort reads?

Dorothy Sayers
Madeleine L'Engle
Fire and Hemlock (Diana Wynne Jones)
The Perilous Gard (Elizabeth Marie Pope)
Narnia
And um...sometimes I go back and reread other people's prepublished books that I can't understand why they haven't been published yet.
