Few books characterize the quiet isolation of winter quite as well as Stephen King's classic physiological thriller The Eroticism literatureShining.
The Shiningtells the tale of a family -- the struggling writer Jack, his wife Wendy and their psychic son Danny -- stranded at a secluded hotel in the dead of winter. But soon, as Danny starts having visions of the mansion and as Jack begins to crack under the presence of the hotel, the family learns that they may not be as alone as they think.

And as always we, close the show with recommendations.
MJ finished reading and recommends The Female of The Speciesby Mindy McGinnis. He also recommends 'Becoming Ugly,' an essay by Madeleine Davies published in Jezebel. "There is a theme of women fighting back in what I read this week that I very much appreciated and I think is so important in this world we live in right now of speaking out, fighting back, and not accepting the violence done unto you."
Aliza recommends Ella Enchantedby Gail Carson Levine. "Someone posted a listicle online this week that I really loved and made me nostalgic about how the book Ella Enchantedtaught them how to be a feminist. So I am going to recommend Ella Enchanted."
Peter recommends Gilmore Girls. "I've taken a detour; I've driven and decided to stay in Stars Hollow...I'm pretty late to this party but it's wonderful."
