If you haven’t picked up all the Christmas gifts (for yourself or others) yet, perhaps some ideas of interest can be found on our little list of books that we wouldn’t have minded getting (except for the fact that we already have them all).

Even if we haven’t managed to read as many books as usual of late, we’ve still found quite a few new(ish) things to recommend and as before we have also dug up some old favourites that deserve some more recognition. We’ve also snuck in a couple of non-book things.

Its that time of the year again, and we thought we’d compile a little (or not so little, actually) list of reading (and watching) recommendations for the holidays. We’ve included both some recent releases and some older favourites, and we think that most of them are great additions both to your own wish list and to your shopping list.
