(JTA) \u2014 Chanukah is \u201clate\u201d this year (no disrespect to lunar-calendar literalists), which means winter will be well underway by the time those first lights are lit. What better time to curl up with a good book than when the weather outside is frightful, but the latkes are so delightful?<\/p>\n

So, in the spirit of Chanukah, whether you\u2019re looking to rededicate yourself to literature or just find the right gift (or eight) for a favorite fervent reader, here is the only wish list you need. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n
