Christmas List

Well, it's almost that time of year again - time to write the Xmas list of books that I want not quite enough to buy myself (like those expensive hardbacks) but would like to read sometime soon (and could use on the long plane flight back home).

The two on my list are:

Harry Potter - Order of the Phoenix
RJ - Crossroads of Twilight

I'm sure I'll think of others as Christmas approaches!

Isn't this thread in the wrong forum? Oh well...

I asked this year for a collection of classics... I'd really like to build up that part of my collection.

Good List, I like it I've got a few of these on my own bookshelves.
