Christmas is just around the corner, and since I can’t think of anything else to write about, I’m posting my wish list - or at least the first installment of it. Listed below are some books I want.

Why books? The stupid reason is that I want to seem a bit more intellectual. Another reason is that I’m a geek - I love learning new stuff. You want another one? I’m sorry, but I can’t think of anything. I just know I want these books:

• Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things: How to Turn a Penny into a Radio, Make a Flood Alarm with an Aspirin… - Cy Tymony
  
• Sneakier Uses for Everyday Things: How to Turn a Calculator into a Metal Detector, Carry a Survival Kit in a Shoestring, Make a Gas Mask with a Balloon… - Cy Tymony
• Skin: The Complete Guide to Digitally Lighting, Photographing, and Retouching Faces and Bodies - Lee Varis
• Best Business Practices for Photographers - John Harrington
• Secrets of Lighting on Location: A Photographer’s Guide to Professional Lighting Techniques - Bob Krist
• Guess How Much I Love You - Sam Mcbratney
• Blindness - Jose Saramago
• Seeing - Jose Saramago

Given more time, I’m sure I can think of a lot of other books I want. I guess I’ll stop here though - it’s way past my bedtime.

As for you, I hope you can contribute to my book drive. I’ve tried to make it as convenient for you as possible - you can click on any of the titles above and order direct from Amazon. If you’ve got other books in mind, you can search for them on the search bar off to the right. If you’re feeling really nice, you can throw in a book full of bedtime stories for me.

Good night!
