Stay calm and stick the book in the freezer.

“Joey?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you want to put the book in the freezer?”

“…okay.”

There was an episode in FRIENDS where Joey claims that putting The Shining by Stephen King makes him feel safer from its scary clutches. Then he goes on to put Little Women in the freezer at a point where things get too sad for him. At the time I just laughed at Joey for being his usual silly self, but thinking about it now, I realise he may be onto something.

It’s not about actually sticking it in the freezer, per se, you do...
