There's no such thing as a snow day in the newspaper business, unfortunately. During even the biggest blizzards, you're expected to come to work.
But for all those folks lucky enough to have a day off while Baltimore digs out, why not relax for a few hours with a "snowy" book?
Here's one: David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars.
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.

Maybe something Christmas-y, like Little Women. Or anything from the Little House series. Those girls were always digging out the root cellar or something to prepare for a blizzard.
So basically, something Little.

I just want to say that I do not recommend reading "Into the Wild" in this weather. It made the snow that much creepier.

I wrote about my favorite snowy day book on my blog yesterday - The Snowy Day by Kack Ezra Keats :)
