I love the holiday season.  Not so much the shopping part but the giving the gifts part and watching my loved ones open up my not so carefully wrapped gift on Christmas morning (I hate wrapping presents almost as much as shopping for them.  It alwas looks like a cat wrapped them and then tried to unwrap it again.).  Tommorrow is Black Friday, the day when stores open up before dawn to let customers punch each other out over cheap flat screen TVs and various bargains.  if you're like me, you opt to stay in bed and avoid the crowds on Black Friday and do most of your shopping online on Cyber Monday.  Whether you're buying your books online at Amazon or Half.com or visiting your neighborhood bookseller or corporate bookstore, I've created another gift guide for you to use as cheat sheet. 

Here are some titles to consider while you are sitting on the couch in a turkey coma half watching the Seahawks get crushed by the Cowboys.
