I don't know but maybe someone reading this may be thinking of getting me a Christmas present. If so, I thought I'd mention a few books that I'd like to read and, if they should find their way underneath the Christmas tree, I'd be very grateful. Here's the list:
Peter Doggett, There's a Riot Going On [music]
Dean Wareham, Black Postcards [music]
Dan Kennedy, Rock On: An Office Power Ballad [music]
Jim Walsh, The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting [music]
Tony Judt, Reappraisals: Reflections on the Forgotten Twentieth Century [history]
John Burrow, A History of Histories [history]
Martin Cohen, Philosophical Tales [philosophy]
Kitty Ferguson, The Music of Pythagorus [history/philosophy]
Richard T. Kelly, 10 Bad Dates With DeNiro [film]
Mike Edison, I Have Fun Wherever I Go [media]
Neil Harris, The Chicagoan: A Lost magazine of the Jazz Age [history/media]
Jon Clinch, Finn: A Novel
Robert Bolano, The Savage Detectives [novel]
Gary W. Moore, Playing With the Enemy:A Baseball Prodigy, World War II, and the Long Journey Home [sports]
Mark Steel, Vive La Revolution: A Stand-Up History of the French Revolution [humor]
Feel free to leave your lists in comments too-- I've still got some shopping to do myself.

I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND Moore's Playing with the Enemy. Tell someone close to you to get a copy directly from the publisher (like my sister did for me on my birthday recently), and it comes with a SIGNED bookplate. Really cool. A first edition, too. The website is www.savasbeatie.com
Merry Christmas.

Based on these endorsements, I'll definitely pick up the book even if I don't receive it as a gift.
