Books!
Spent xmas and eve at Granny's, sleeping on an air mattress in an empty apartment across the hall from her. Baums gave me two pies, which I gave to the staff at The Arbor (Granny's assisted living place). The majority of my xmas gifts were books this year, which is a very good thing. Someone did try (and fail) to buy me a pair of shoes. They should have known better, as I can spend hours in a shoe store and not find anything that fits my bizarrely high-arched feet. I got a new bathrobe, too, which I needed, since Isis and her forerunners had put holes all in my old one. Anyway, I thought I'd share the wealth by reccing/bragging xmas gift books, some of which I've finished already (hey, it's a long trip home from Granny's). Some of these I'd asked for, some of them I think brother picked out (I know he was responsible for the Complete Hitchhiker's Guide - the title of which, btw, confused my Granny to no end).
