Ho! Ho! Ho!

'Tis the season for giving and, lest I ignore reality entirely, 'tis also the season for getting. So what do you say? Shall we not give each other the gift of books?

I'll start. Feel free to follow.

To Brother Neely, a copy of Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain:http://www.bookthink.com/images/090kli02.jpg

To JuniperWolf, fellow comics enthusiast, a copy of R. Crumb's latest magnum opus:http://www.graphicclassroom.com/wp-c...nsis-comic.jpg

To Scheherazade, few libraries carry this worthy book. Enjoy!

To skib, Ride on! http://ebooks-imgs.connect.com/produ...0033324_s4.jpg

Yay! Thanks Comedian! Hmmm... I've got to think about this one for a while.

But we DO need a tree to put the presents under, and a hearth to sit by. Here:

A tree, excellent idea!

Haha, Blankets was pretty good, and I'm not even that big of a comic fan.

Don't forget the stockings! and eggnog

Hahaha, what a great idea for a thread.

How about this for JBI:

Yay, I love Christmas! There's something beautiful and simple about giving things to others. Yes I'm a cultural cliche, but how can my nostaligia hold it back?

Sounds kind of dry - I think I could probably write it better. Though Brando is now dead, so no getting him to sign onto my movie contract

Probably. I have no idea what it's about. It's the title that made think it would be perfect for you. ;)

Well, I've thought long and hard.

For The Comedian:

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5821

A knife, for all of it's various uses.

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5822

Flint and steel.

And...

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5823

These three things are really all the material goods that you'll ever need (that and a few dozen comics, but I figure you've already got that one covered).

For Mono

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5809

So that you can keep in touch. Where the hell did you go?

For Rimbaud

Every Rimbaud fan needs...

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5816

Hiking boots, for wandering endless roads.

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5815

A pipe, to aid in contemplation.

And...

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5814

Absinthe, for fun.

For OrphanPip

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5817

An electron microscope. Call it a cheap little graduation present.

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5820

For fun.

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5818

And...
http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5819
Just in case. ;)

For Mathor:

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5824

My friend with good taste, I think you'd appreciate this classic album.

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5825

If you haven't seen it, I think you'll love it. It's pretty epic.

For Babbalanja:

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5826

If this doesn't help you out with that sense of humor, I don't know what will. ;)

And for The Atheist:

I saw this in the store, and I thought of you immediately.

http://www.online-literature.com/for...pictureid=5829

Try it on; I think it'll suit you.

Hey thanks Juniper and Daniel. You shouldn't have (and by "shouldn't", I mean "should" -- those gifts are awesome).

Thank you JBI. :)

Ha, I think I'd faint. Me and the other technician at work threw a little party when we got a new light microscope.

Oh, and can you get me a FACS for Christmas?
