Last year, I came up with my wish list for Christmas. As expected, I ended up buying some of the stuff anyway (Marc, pay attention... :)
Mes amis, in addition to that list are some book titles you may want to consider giving me:
*grabeh Ron, you're soooo....uhm kapal! But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. The fall of the dollar is pushing me down the road to poverty.*
Fiction by David Sedaris ("Barrel Fever", "Naked", "Me Talk Pretty One Day"); Flannery O'Connor and Gabriel Garcia Marquez (except "One Hundred Years..." and "Amor en el Tiempo del Colera"- I already have those);
Penguin Classic edition of the new English translation of Rizal's "Noli Me Tangere";
"History of Christianity" by Paul Johnson- explores the rise of the Christian church from a purely socio-political and historical context, rather than from a polemical and theological standpoint;
"All The Pope's Men", Paul Allen's fascinating account of the selection process of the new Pope. I just read his book about the Opus Dei;
And perhaps, a comprehensive guide to opera and symphonies.
