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.
My mom asked me for a Christmas list, and it was literally all books. The one I’m most excited about is The Vory - Russia’s Super Mafia by Mark Galeotti. I guess Mark Galeotti is an expert on organized crime in Russia, has been consulted by multiple governments and police forces from around the world. Anyway, I’m excited.
