Santa gifted me 'The Essential James Joyce in one sitting' with a note inside to say they hoped this would give me a taste of his work.

The Hugo Award winning Foundation by Isaac Asimov, which looks amazing. The only work of Asimov's I can say I'm familiar with is The Last Question so if Foundation is by the same author I'm excited!

A copy of Metro 2033 which as the note in the cover confirms, is a video game as well as a book.(Santa felt bad about writing in a new book in pen, at my request I should say, however now every time I open these books I'll be reminded of Santa and this moment we shared).

Finally the letter that Santa sent me, which I consider as much a gift as the books, a hand written letter at that. Someone told me that an unfinished book is like an unfinished love affair, so I will endevour not to leave any pages unturned!

Thank you Santa.
