24 Festive Tasks: Door 17 - Winter Solstice: Task 2 (Yaldā Night)

The Christmas Egg - Mary Kelly, David Thorpe

I stayed up until 3:00 AM last night reading the first half (approximately) of this book -- which contrary to recent appearances still isn't my "usual" bedtime. So I'm claiming the book for this task. (And if I were less knocked out I might even have made it an all night read -- the book is certainly good enough for that -- but that sort of thing just isn't an option at the moment.)

(Task: Yaldā Night task (Persia / Iran): Stay up all night reading a good book (or at least stay up past your usual bedtime).
