What book would you like to snuggle under covers with, and why?
"Once on a Moonless Night, a new book by Dai Sijie, is one that I look forward to reading. I recently read his book, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress. I enjoyed his casual but careful portrayal of a difficult time in China. I liked how he described the time period and people. The ending of the book was the best part. Since I learned of his new book, I have been looking forward to reading it."
