Reading as Self-medication
Miss Dashwood's book list refers to certain kinds of books as self-medication. I agree -- and while Wodehouse is good for a tonic, I'd include my copy of the Complete Father Brown mysteries as an analgesic. You know -- books that make it back to the shelf, but which you can find without having to switch on the light in that room.
