Words like “cozy” and “murder mystery” might seem like contradictory terms, but the cozy mystery murder has been around since Agatha Christie, and they don’t seem ready to go anywhere anytime soon.  It makes sense, especially given the times we live in these days, that we’re seeking an extra-literary blanket …

Below you’ll find classics that hipsters at micro-breweries know well – classics that while they have merit in the literary world, might have missed a spot on a standard reading list. If you’ve ever dreamed of connecting with an English professor as you drift across moors, (one or both of …
