My gifteer went above and beyond on this one. She sent me not one, not two, but five books! I can't to read them all. Thank you so much, you definitely got me pegged.

The books are: Post Office by Charles Bukowski, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami, City of Truth by James Morrow, Bend Sinister by Vladimer Nabokov, and The Overcoat and Other Short Stories by Nikolai Gogol.
