Christmas Gifts!
List and discuss!
I'll begin:
Books, including
A collection of Poe stories, called The Comple Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. It has the ugliest cover ever. :P
A collection of Ray Bradbury's short stories, called The Vintage Ray Bradbury
A collection of Emily Dickinson's poems, called The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson --- this version was published by Barnes and Noble and was heavily edited. The dashes that make her poetry so different almost don't exist in this book, but I think that's where the editing ends.
Four and Twenty Blackbirds by Cherie Priest --- It was okay, though a bit supernatural sometimes. But I enjoyed the story and her writing (which is kind of distict). Either way, I like having it on my bookshelf because the cover art is so pretty.
Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk (who wrote Fight Club) --- I'm in the process of reading this one. I love the cover art on it as well. It's awesome so far. I recommend it, as Rick (freak) recommended it to me.
Invisible Monsters by "
The Exorcist by William Petter Blatty (which was made into the popular horror movie)
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
PostSecret by Frank Warren --- you're probably already familiar with the site, but if you buy the book, a portion of your money spent will be donated to the National Hopeline Network, who put on 1-800-SUICIDE.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee --- Harper Lee is an awesome name (random thought). Atticus Finch is even cooler! :)
1984 by George Orwell
His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass)
Angels & Demons by Dan Brown --- he wrote The Da Vinci Code, which I haven't read. This is a prequel, I think. Rick recommended this to me too, so it's probably worth reading! :P
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Dracula by Bram Stoker --- The original!
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon --- This is supposed to be a really good book about an autistic boy who investigates a neighborhood dog's death.
Also, I got
A chain & bracelet --- Silver, I don't like gold.
A watch to replace a broken one
Clothes, as always
Mario Kart DS --- vroom! This game is fun.
An electric razor --- I always thought these things were superfluous, but it's pretty cool.
Other stuff that I can't recall but am thankful for anywho. :)
