During the exchange, I PMed another redditor looking for an historical book saying he should get James Clavell's Shōgun because it is such an excellent book.

Turns out my santa shares my taste since he got me this novel. What a coincidence! I didn't own a physical copy yet and the one I just got was immediately lent to a friend who never read it but is a fan of Japanese culture.

So thanks a lot Santa!

He also sent me Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis. I never heard of it but so far my Santa seems to have excellent taste so I'm sure it's going to be all kinds of awesome!
