You know, after reading this I suddenly realized that by choosing to read Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago last winter rather than this winter, I really jumped the gun. Your metaphor is the dead of winter...mine is this long bleak Russian winter that is epitomized by so many novels that I read when I was younger, or wanted to read and waited until I was much older. And now we seem to be living it.
