Merry Christmas
A merry Christmas to all W6 readers who celebrate it, and to those who don't, may you endure its excesses in peace. See you in a few days. In the meantime, let us know what books you got. And has anybody figured out an adequate way to wrap an ebook?

Not a bad haul. This (gigantic) collection is my introduction to Eisenberg!
Happy holidays, and thanks for the gift of daily posts.
Rhian gave me "How To Wreck A Nice Beach," the new history of the vocoder!
Raymond Carver: Collected Stories (Library of America)! It's just a beautiful, beautiful book, especially when you take off the dust jacket.
There may be more...haven't had a chance to exchange all the gifts yet.
Merry Christmas!

I had a feeling there were more:
Super Sad True Love Story

3/03 by Chuck Wachtel
Tinkers
Boston Noir
Tinkers will be my next one to read!

Let me know what you think of the Shteyngart. I have a review of it in the new LRB--I loathed his first two books but actually quite liked this one.
Rat Girl, Kristin Hersh's memoir. Plus, her newest music, Crooked, comes in book form - a small hard cover with beautiful photos, lyrics, essays and inspiration. A secret code in the book gets you all the music downloads and some other digital content. Neato.
I received-
Skippy Dies- Paul Murray
Ghost Stories- Edith Wharton
Dreaming in Chinese- Deborah Fallows
These are what I gave:
Quiet as They Come- Angie Chau
Best Music Writing 2010
Lord of Misrule (NBA winner)
How To Live in a Science Fiction Universe- Charles Yu
World War Z- Max Brooks
John Dies in the End- "David Wong" (pseudonym- seemed interesting on the book table)
