My Secret Santa (who shall have to remain nameless for now, as their note had their real name on it, not their reddit username) managed to pick out four magnificent books for me, and I'm extremely grateful. I received:

The Secret Art of Dr Seuss - a beautiful coffee table hardback of Dr Seuss' art, full of bizarre and wonderful works that go beyond his children's books. I'm a huge Seuss fan, even more so since I became a dad, and this is one I've often considered buying for my wife as an excuse to actually get a copy in the house.

Earth (the book)- I actually bought this book for my brother in law a couple of Chrsitmases ago, and had a really hard time giving it up. I'm a big fan of the Daily Show, and it's not that easy to follow it over here in Australia, so I'm really excited to finally have a copy of this I can keep.

Saga - by Brian K Vaughn, the writer of Y: the last man and Runaways (one of the best superhero books of the last decade, in my opinion). I've read some issues of this one, and had been meaning to catch up on what I'd missed, as I'd been really enjoying the story.

Childhood's End - I've never read this book, even though I'm aware that it's a seminal work of classic science fiction, and I've read and loved many of Clarke's other novels. I'm actually really impressed that my gifter was able to find a gap in my scifi knowledge, and I'm really looking forward to getting into this.

Thanks again, mysterious gifter whose real name I will not mention - I love the books, and you can rest assured that you've done some fine gifting here.

Cheers!
