Companionable Books, by Henry Van Dyke. From the preface: "by companionable books I mean those that are worth taking with you on a journey, where the weight of luggage counts, or keeping beside your bed, near the night-lamp; books that will bear reading often, and the more slowly you read them the better you enjoy them... Here I have written about a few of these books which have borne me good company, in one way or another, - and about their authors, who have put the best of themselves into their work."
