Book Memeage!

cupcake_goth, and it's an utterly adorable little meme:
Name four comfort-reading books:
-"The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff: Taoism made even easier, by seeing it through the eyes of a certain Bear of Very Little Brain
-"The Halloween Tree" by Ray Bradbury: I re-read it every October, and I don't think there's any other writer who captures the spirit (HA!) of the season as well as the Grand Old Master
-"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman: Okay, it has its Nightmare Fuel moments (Bilquis and her John, in that early chapter), but there are so many cool stories within this book that I like to open it at random and just reeead when I need a pick me up
-"Blood Rites" by Jim Butcher: Funniest opening and ending lines ever, and the reveal in the middle is a CMoH that makes me go "Awwww..." every time I read it.
BONUS! -"Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of Darkness) Vol. 5": Since the cultural elitists like to say this isn't a book since it's manga, I thought I'd Leave It In Anyway. It might start out with a funny-shivery Muraki cameo, but this one makes me just go "awwww", as Tsuzuki finds a book that one can get lost in and meets a gender-flipped version of himself.
