DICHOTOMYBOI'S Challenge To Puny Noders

To the person who is assigned with sending me Secret Santa stuff:

I like homemade or unique things, things with utility, and books. I enjoy books that are not brand new, not crumbling into dust, but somewhere in the middle. Yellow pages, inscriptions, maybe even a little water damage are fine with me, even preferable. I hate: abridged additions and novelizations. I have a goodreads.com account here, which may give you an idea of what I like. Now for my list of books that I would be tickled freakin' pink to own:

• Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace
• A Supposedly Fun Thing... by David Foster Wallace
• The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
• Anything by Douglas Coupland (Never read anything by him)
• Anything (but The Crying of Lot 49) by Thomas Pynchon
• The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
• A copy of Dante's Paradiso, preferably with the Italian facing the English Translation, but I'm not terribly picky
• Anything by Celine
• Anything by Knut Hamsun
• Knulp by Hermann Hesse
• Anything by Graham Greene (but The Heart of the matter, Power and the Glory, and his collected Short Stories)
• Anything by Hubert Selby Jr.
• U And I, Box of Matches, and The Size of Thoughts by Nicholson Baker
• The Cities of the Red Night, The Western Lands, and The Place of Dead Roads by William S Burroughs

moosemanmoo Holy shit. This orange juice took 'extra pulp' as a personal challenge. It's solid.

Ouch, dichotomyboi, you have to be less angry until you lose some weight.
No one's willing to put up with an angry fatty.
