So what books are you people buying as gifts?

My oldest friend is a huge U2 fan, but I still love her dearly. She's getting U2 by U2, a big coffee table book with interviews by and pictures of the band since their inception.

I picked up a couple of Kurt Vonnegut for the girlie, as well as 'Girl Interrupted'. The older Boy got a mystery novel and darn it I can't remember the name. J.P. something is the author....

I haven't purchased any books, but I think I may be responsible for a local sale of The Heavenly City of the Eighteenth Century Philosophers, a book Alex (if I remember correctly) recommended in the LoT book club. I had taken my daughter to the library with me, and when I asked the librarian* if they had a copy, she informed me that only as a reference material and then only at the downtown branch. I just said something to the effect that I could just get it on Amazon, but Tori told her dad about it and has been hinting in her not-so-subtle way that I will be the recipient of said book soon.


* She asked me what it was about and when I told her it was book club material she wanted to know what the hell kind of book club read this stuff. (I suspect she wanted to join). I think area clubs tend toward Oprah and the like, judging from the 'lit' pile at our branch. ****ing suburbia.
