What book would you like to snuggle under covers with, and why?
"I am soon hoping to get UnderCovers with The Secret History of the World by Jonathan Black.  This history of human consciousness promises a view of the world previously hidden, and as I find anything to do with the labyrinth of human thought seductive, I am looking forward to its revelations."
