Mom, are You Reading This?

It's almost time for Christmas, and I'm sure that you-all, like me, are nowhere near done shopping.  So, for your shopping pleasure, a round-up of book suggestion lists:

  1. A while ago, Blogcritics put up some book suggestions for gifts for those hard-to-suss-out relatives; they also note that books are easy to wrap, another plus.
  2. Scroll down to the "Bookworm" section to get TreeHugger's book picks.
  3. NPR's choices are tasteful as always. (And you can listen, too.)
  4. Books about music, courtesy Dr. Dick.
  5. Engtech tells us about 45 Books They Like More than a Little. (Check this for the awesome illustrating photo.)
  6. Swim in the main stream with USAToday's gift guide, which offers, mainly, breadth.
  7. Globe Corner offers this.
  8. Here's one focused on comic books from Pop Syndicate.
  9. Away.com offers a neat Interactive Holiday Gift Finder.
  10. And here's Sycamore's official suggestion.

A sidenote: for the first time in my life, today I watched someone literally write down a Christmas list of things they wanted, and hand it to their mother.  (Maybe this is commonplace?  I didn't know it really happened.)  Everything on the list was a book or a subscription to a journal.  Awesome.
