It's always interesting when an author decides to share a part of their life that is not usually associated with their writing, so Ann Patchett's New York Times essay on her home may be perfect reading for this rainy day. From the article:
"I understand the world is full of spectacular things I’ve yet to see, but I can’t imagine any of them would satisfy me as deeply as this house, the casement window in the shower, the light pouring through the halls, or the ceiling in our bedroom, with its thin strips of pale wood that thrill me every morning when I open my eyes. Add in one really good husband and Rose, our really old dog, and it’s hard to come up with a compelling reason to leave."
