The art of glamour by Virginia Postrell.
Hyperbole and a half by Allie Brosch

I am waiting for the republishing of Aurora Morales’ Medicine Stories so I can buy 10 and give them away. Incredibly potent, clear, and beautiful writing on healing ourselves from oppression of all kinds. True medicine.

Flowers For Algernon - For my girlfriend.

Trafficked to Hell - For my Mother.

I bought my wife pretty much every book written by Brandon Sanderson. (Mistborn, Stormlight Archives, etc).

I've also donated a couple of copies of Dune, Zelazny's Amber books, and The Martian over the course of the year to various local friends.
