Christmas Haul

So /book/, what did you get this year for Christmas? I had a huge book pull this year in which I got the following:
The Hellbound Heart - Clive Barker
Le Morte D'Arthur - Sir Thomas Malory
Neuromancer - William Gibson
Dracula - Bram Stoker
Hard-Boiled Wonderland - Murakami
Lavondyss - Robert Holdstock
120 Days of Sodom - The Marquid de Sade

I got two books.

Under the Dome - Stephen King

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. I did the checklist and I've only seen 130 (131 now, I just watched Casablanca which was awesome) out of 1001. Eep. I have some watching to do.

I got 1001 books you must see before you die for Christmas, i find it a lot more enjoyable. And if anyone wants the 1001 albums one, there's a pdf on mediafire.

In terms of /book/ related things I got:

Manhood for Amateurs
The Yiddish Policemen's Union
Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
The Corrections
Eating the Dinosaur
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs
 and "The Double Life is twice as good."


I was thinking of asking for some more, but I figured 7 books is enough.

Chronicle of a Death Foretold - Marquez
Pale Fire - Nabokov
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman - Sterne

Crying of Lot 49 - Pynchon
Infinite Jest - David Wallace
Game of Thrones - George R R Martin

Also, somehow ended up with a script to a one act play called "Rice Boy," about an Indian girl and a pre-arranged marriage, instead of the comic book "Rice Boy," about ancient robot prophets and frog kings. Oh well.

Just Gravity's Rainbow, I read most everything online.

I got Hardcover Invisible by Paul Auster

I got a sony reader.

2:57 here: Its like sex.

As I lay dying - Faulkner
Cloud Atlas - Mitchell

Nohow On by Samuel Beckett
Collected poems of Frederick Seidel

>>11
Is that the Norton Critical Edition of As I Lay Dying?

I got a ton of stuff, and have been working my way through the pile slower than I hoped.

Henry David Thoreau - Walden and Civil Disobedience
Frederick Nietzsche - Beyond Good and Evil
Haruki Murakami - A Wild Sheep Chase
Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club
Leonard Cohen - Beautiful Losers
Catechism of the Catholic Church
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe - The Sorrows of Young Werther
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

I've been trying to work through a backlog of half-finished books I have while reading these new ones. I've finished Snow Country by Kawabata just today, and Fight Club in a few hours the day after Christmas. I hope to read Werther and finish up some other backlogged book today, since it's my favorite type of reading day (snow on the ground and cloudy).

I also got quite a bit of money, so I'll be set to buy some new books when I'm done with these. This is probably my best Christmas haul of all time, but it will most likely be my last as well for awhile.

The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster
Outer Dark by Cormac Mccharthy
and for my dad I got him Blood Meridian by Cormac Mccharthy

A tale of two cities
The complete works of Shakespeare

>>14

New York Trilogy, you say?
Prepare to have your brain hit with a hammer.

Why is that I already read two of the three books?
