What non-Star Wars books did you get for Christmass?

If you're like me, you didn't get any Star Wars books because you already own them all. Here's what books I did get:

Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose

Over Time by Mario Lemieux

Napalm and Silly Putty by George Carlin (I actually got that one yesterday and stayed up rather late reading it. Funny stuff!)

The United States Military Avaiation Directory by Tom Kaminski and Mel Williams

Ghost Soliders by Hampton Sides

 

The Lord of the Rings - my Dad still seems to think I'll destroy his copy just by looking at it.

 

I am Looking foward to

Star Trek: Gateways , What lay beyond.

and

Star Trek: New Fronteer, Being human.

 

My sister got teh first three Harry Potter books.

I got SbS! WHOO! Oh, wait. This was supposed to be non-SW books? Oh, well I didn't get any then.

 

Stephen Hawking's Universe, several Stackpole novels.

 

I, too, recieved Lord Of The Rings for Christmas.

 

Does a gift certificate to Waldenbooks count if I use it on non-SW lit?

 

I got a reprinted LOTR + Hobbit series because my old ones were falling apart, plus the Tolkien Encyclopedia.

 

The Last Summer of Reason by Tahar Djaout

 

I got the LOTR trilogy from my mom. My dad gave me The Hobbit.

 

I didn't get any non-star wars books but I did get Star By Star!!! FINALLY!! I can't wait to start it!

 

There's a Hair in my Dirt by Gary Lawson.

I plan to buy Fortress Draconis by MAS tomorrow.

 

I got Alligators in the Sewer and 222 other urban Legends (Absolutely True Stories That Happened to a Friend...Of A Friend...Of A Friend) by Thomas J. Craughwell.


The section titled Naked at His Own Surprise Party and Other Sexual Escapades is hilarious...

 

The Lineage of Grace Series by Francine Rivers (all five of them)

 

I got the Icewind Dale trilogy by R A Salvatore. Also, my brother got a really nice 80's hardback of Lord of the Rings that i have been admiring and looking at the huge map of middle earth that it has.

 

The Dragon Queen

so far, very cool

JediFarfy

 

Love Carlin, wish I had one of his books, or one of the audio books of his books (hey, I don't care what you think about audio books, those two any Carlin fan would love since he's the one doing the reading).

Aside from instructional guides (one to SimCity 3000 Unlimited, one to a Playstation game, and the other to a new Star Wars CCG I had no idea exsisted, the Jedi Knights game) I got three books for Christmas. At least so far. Since I've got a sibling in the military overseas who could not be home for Christmas, and plans to celebrate again when they get home so that they didn't mail presents home, I may yet get some more. But for now I have three, SbS (Hey, hardcovers I usually only get as gifts, only two have I purchased for myself and I had to use lay-a-way to get them. Plus around Christmas timeI try not to get any new Star Wars books so that I could get them for either Christmas or my birthday.), a cooking sampler on making cheese, butter, and yogurt, and Abandon Ship!, a documentary on the sinking of the USS Inpianapolis at the end of WWII.

 

Let's see, here...
