My comfort books -- particularly when I'm under stress: 1. Steven's books. All of them. All in a row. I used to read them back-to-back as soon as I finished my finals in college. I often re-read one at random when I've nothing new to read, because I always notice something new that changes my perspective when I read it. I go through them all at least once a year. 2. Neil Gaiman books. See above. 3. David Eddings' *Mallorean* and *Belgariad.* I got hooked on them when I was 13 and haven't been able to kick the habit. 4. The Harry Potter books My nostalgia books: 1. Hickman and Weis's *Dragonlance Lengends* Series -- Raistlin Majere was my first real character obsession. 2. The Chronicles of Narnia 3. The Oz Books 4. The "Anne" and "Emily" serieses by L.M. Montgomery 5. The Phantom Tollbooth I stilll have most of my childrens' books. I like to flip through them for deja vu purposes. Nikki
