Because it is long past Christmas morning, I can exult in my filthy lucre, which was mostly books:
-Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin: A Lincoln biography
-Skeletons of the Zahara by Dean King: An historical narrative of abduction, slavery, and survival in the desert. This one was a gift from![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
caecus_parvulus.
-Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick: An account of the Mayflower's voyage to America.
Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada: A thriller about one man's act of resistance against the Nazis in 1940s Berlin, and a deadly game of cat-and mouse between him and an ambitious member of the Gestapo who's determined to hunt him down. This was a gift fromschwester_grimm, and I must confess that I am incredibly intrigued by the premise.
-The Talisman and its sequel Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub.
-The Burning Season by Jeff Mariotte: A CSI tie-in.
Brass in Pocket by Jeff Mariotte: Another CSI tie-in.
I also got more than a few DVDs:
-Paranorman
-The Apparition
-Chill Out, Scooby Doo!
-Behind the Mask: The Legend of Leslie Vernon
-Supernatural S7
I also received a card, a box of Lipfelnuetzen, and a bag of Russich Brot from across the sea, and I am manfully trying to restrain myself from eating them all in one day. German chocolate is sex without the mess as far as I'm concerned.
Roomie got six ROH DVDs, a Slipknot DVD, The Dark Knight Rises, Expendables 2, The Best of the Attitude Era, a Hellyeah CD, and Tony Iommi's autobiography.
Most of the gifts we bought ourselves, and though it's an extensive list, it was less than $300 thanks to Amazon's third-part sellers.
And someone in Rammsteinland must've thought I needed a present, because I found this during my trawls of various fora:
Nggh.
The weather could be potentially severe tomorrow, so I might be scarce. I'll have no shortage of books to read if the power fails, but I hope the direst predictions of tornadoes turns out to be so much ghoulish hyperbole. My home was built for neither.
