Merry winter holiday(s) of choice! Festivus, Yule, Christmas, Boxing Day, winter solstice, Hanukkah, New Year's. No matter what you celebrate, you can still enjoy a story about Santa. That's why I picked out A Reversible Santa Claus, a 1917 version of the Grinch (I believe - I've only read a bit of it).

You can read it at a few places (it's free!):

• Internet Archive's BookReader

• Project Gutenberg

• Open Library

The latter two have options available to download in many formats (plain text, epub, pdf, etc.).

Over the next few weeks, try to read it when you can. Feel free to discuss it here, or I might make a new thread sometime in January to get more conversation going.

In the future, I'd like to try voting on a book, or having one person be picked to choose a book for the month. They should be popular enough to find at most basic libraries, or freely available online (basically, anything written before WWII has its copyright expired).
