A Winter's Tale We don't know if it's the long nights or the stark landscape of winter, but somehow classics just lend themselves to this season. If you're like us, you might be surprised at the books that have escaped you but shouldn't any longer. Eleven must-reads from our experts:
9) A Separate Peace “Here's a book that appeals to both adolescents and adults (and has a great winter section to boot). If you read it as a high school student, you'll get even more out of it as an adult. If you haven't read it, why not read it with your high school student? The short novel is one of the most stirring meditations on love and friendship ever written (and one of the most perceptive on young men, a class of character that doesn't get drawn well very often). There is great guilt and great forgiveness here, and the way our pasts forever haunt us is, well, hauntingly rendered. Plus, the writer's inspiration was apparently his time at Deerfield Academy.”
