As the holiday season approaches, I want to hear about everyone’s top book wishes–whether it’s a collector’s edition of an old favorite, a book that has somehow evaded your grasp, a book that has been recommended by a friend, or anything and everything in between. Why are you asking for these books?
For me, I’m hoping to get two books that Mike Palindrome recommended, The Collector by John Fowles and Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee. They both aren’t at my library, and I’ve wanted to read them for a while now.
Top of my list is the collected fictions of Jorge Luis Borges. I discovered Borges this year and he’s quickly become one of my favorite authors, so I really wanna get that big book that collates every short story he ever published.
I think I saw something like that at Barnes & Noble.
