I don't suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) per se, but there's definitely a blue funk that comes along with the arrival of winter. So, reading is one of the mainstays in keeping me intact until spring rolls up again. I don't know if I read more books in the winter, but I seem to find myself buried in a book more often than when the weather is sunny and mild. Life seems to slow down in the winter. I've been known to put off a book I'm eager to read until the cold weather hits, prolonging the fun. I've wondered if I lived in a place with decent weather year round if I'd get any reading done. It's a wise idea to stockpile your books, digital or paper, and settle in for a few months of chills. Oh, I mean outdoors as well as in your current read.
