stoutfellowLast Sunday, I put in an order at Amazon; it arrived in three separate packages over the last two days.
The contents included two CDs - Dinah Washington, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, and Steppenwolf, All Time Greatest Hits - and six books: Laura Joh Rowland, Assassin's Touch (another in the Sano Ichiro series); Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys; George Macdonald Fraser, Flashman's Lady; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (look, you know what a procrastinator I am!); Nicholas Ostler, Empires of the Word: A Language History of the World; and James Surowiecki, The Wisdom of Crowds.
I'm especially looking forward to reading Empires of the Word; I've heard a lot of good things about it.
