Fairy tales (modern, ancient, in-between) go well with spiked lemonade, ale, and honey-wine. Although Gregory Maguire goes better with scotch, and I mean real scotch, none of that donkey piss that is often disguised as scotch. And Kate Atkinson goes well with bubbly.
Crime novels and hybrid crime novels go well with red wine.
Spivak goes well with absolutely nothing.
Modern Brit Lit that doesn’t involve dragons and time-travel goes well with beer (or “burrrr,” as the case may be).
Juicy anatomies of famous sex-scandals go well with just about anything.
My books are some of my best drinking buddies.
