You can never go wrong buying books for a book-lover. Here's my haul from 2009:
Gravity's Rainbow (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) by Thomas Pynchon OK, I just finished The Name of the Rose and now I get another book that requires a guide to understand (My review of Name of the Rose). Here's a free guide to GR
And not only that, I also received Pynchon's newest book, Inherent Vice.
More:
The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America by Timothy Egan This is Egan's followup to his award-winning Worst Hard Time.
Two books from the historical detective series featuring Hanno Stiffeniis the early 18th century Prussian magistrate. The series features Immanuel Kant as the behind-the-scenes mover. OK, so now I need to read Kant too.
