I also bought a few books e.g. Bad Science by Ben Goldacre for my Dad, American Journeys by Don Watson for my sister and Slam by Nick Hornby for my brother.<BR/><BR/>I loved Animalia as a kid, so I can understand your evangelical excitement about it.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to your thoughts on How I Live Now, as I've read glowing reviews and have it in my TBR pile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-14086449354942972572008-12-26T19:30:00.000-05:002008-12-26T19:30:00.000-05:00Nymeth, glad to hear you had a nice Christmas, too...Nymeth, glad to hear you had a nice Christmas, too. I find that the best gifts are the ones that I really do want but would rarely consider buying for myself either because I consider them too frivilous or I'm just too stingy! Ah, but letting other people buy them, now that's the thing. ;DMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-88146357206071454282008-12-26T17:25:00.000-05:002008-12-26T17:25:00.000-05:00I'm glad you had a nice Christmas, Megan. And thos...I'm glad you had a nice Christmas, Megan. And those are some excellent books you gave!<BR/><BR/>I'm quite happy with my haul too. I got mostly books - lots of nonfiction and comics, which are my favourite kinds of books to get because I rarely buy them for myself.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to reading your thoughts on How I Live Now. I plan on reading that one soon.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
