Top Ten Thursday: 10 Books I’d Like to See Under the Christmas Tree

There’s no such thing as too many books.

When people ask what gift I like, I always tell them they can’t go wrong with coffee and books. However, since my TBR list is a bit daunting and may send certain friends into a nervous breakdown from trying to pick the perfect book from the hundreds on my list, I’ve decided to give some help. Now, I know that this may be a bit late for this year, but it’s never to early to start thinking about next year . . . is it?

10 Books I’d Like to See Under the Tree

The Easy Ones

The Buried Giant

[Kazuo Ishiguro; hardcover]

The Relic Master

[Christopher Buckley; hardcover]

V for Vendetta

[Alan Moore & David Lloyd]

The Slightly Expensive (Comparatively)

Monty Python’s Flying Circus: Complete and Annotated…All the Bits

[Luke Dempsey]

Louvre: All the Paintings

[Vincent Pomarède and Erich Lessing]

The Difficult, Expensive, and/or Nearly Impossible Ones

American Gods

[signed by Neil Gaiman]

Divine Comedy

[Dante Alighieri, author; John Ciardi, translator; Gustave Dore, illustrator]

I thought this book impossible, but apparently a leather-bound edition was released back in the 70s.

The Godfather

[signed by Mario Puzo]

Hogfather

[signed by Terry Pratchett]

Any signed Pratchett will do, but Hogfather was my first

Lord of the Rings

[J.R.R. Tolkien; Red Leather (real, not faux) Edition]
