We all get books at Christmas, did you get a good one this Christmas?
I got three, A book on Heraldry, the book that accompanies the programme Q.I. and The Book of Everything, general information.

OOH, your books sound fun! I'll keep my own though...I got two Neil Gaiman books (Yippee! His short story collection, Smoke and Mirrors, and a novel called Neverwhere), a signed copy of a Charles DeLint book (signed by him AND Brian Froud! How lucky is that?), I am Mordred, by Vivian Vande Velde, an Eva Ibbotson book, Fat Kid Rules the World, some completely new book that looks amazingly great...So yes, I did get a good book for Christmas.

I got "Word on the street" which is a youth version of the bible. Basically it's written so that young people will be able to understand it easily. It's by an author who lived in my area (Rob Lacey- Cardiff)
I also got the popular "Dangerous book for boys". I have not had a chance to read either of them yet but hope to do so soon!

Oh yes! I got "They Think Its All Shite", an alternative history of the world cup, which made me laugh out loud. I got other, more highbrow stuff, but not read them yet - 4 jasper forde books and "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry.
Happy New Year!
Cheers, Steve.

I did not get any of the books I coveted, like Alice Munro's new one, but my bro-in-law gave me "Yoga for Weight Loss." Diplomatic, huh? I put it in the recycling bin. Hoping for better luck on my birthday, which is next week.
