Feel free to post a meme anytime you like! Anything to do with books is welcome!

1. What books did you receive for Christmas (or other celebration) ?
On Christmas morning I received Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein, Goodbye to all That by Robert Graves, A Boy of Good Breeding by Miriam Toews, and All the Little live Things by Wallace Stegner.
I also got a gift card for my favourite online bookseller from my sister-in-law for Christmas and have purchased Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet, Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne-Jones, The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews, Forty Words for Sorrow by Giles Blunt, and Under the Glacier by Halldor Laxness.

2. Was there a favorite?
I'm really looking forward to the Robert Graves book and the one by Laxness. Both are books I've been wanting to read for ages.

3. What book(s) are you reading to end 2009 and begin 2010?
I'm trying to end the year on a light note, so I'm reading Cold Comfort Farm, which I'm enjoying very much, and I will probably follow up with A Boy of Good Breeding, which is one of the funniest books I've ever read. It's the only re-read I requested, but it was something I dearly wanted to own.
