This season's list of books to be given as gifts:
1. The Elementary Particles - Houellebeq
2. Notable American Women - Ben Marcus
3. Birding at Point Pelee - Henrietta T. O'Niel
4. Tarantula - Bob Dylan
5. Cannery Row - Steinbeck
6. The Areas of My Expertise - JKH
7. The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil - George Saunders
8. Pastoralia - George Saunders
9. The Braindead Megaphone - George Saunders
10. The Bear Went over the mountain- William Kotzwinkle
11. You Shall Know our Velocity - Dave Eggers
12. 60 Stories - Donald Barthelme
13. The Talking Book - Montreal's Kulmunity
14. The Cloudwatcher's Guide - Gavin Prettor-Penney
And I got a copy of 'After Yesterday's Crash' - Avant Pop Anthology - Which looks really impressive in its collection of great authors and a spot-on introduction with much hope for a future of fiction that excitedly reflects the present. Mcaffery compares 1995 america to 1918 Berlin Dadaists. I won't be giving that away, but for now I've got my eyes out for another copy, or two.
Looks like Saunders is the prescription for seasonal reading.
