So I came home today and the doorman told me I had mail. My heart started racing. He gave me two boxes, one of which isn't relevant to this story.

So I raced upstairs, to my apartment. My heart was pouding with excitement. I checked the writing on the box; I didn't understand some of it. Then I saw it. "Republic of Korea". Oh crap. My book giver sent the book all the way from Korea. When RedditGifs warned me that my gift would take some time to arrive because the gifter is from far away, I was expecting perhaps America or Canada. Not South Korea. Holy crap!

So I took some pictures. What if the books are in Korean? Now I'd have to learn Korean. Man, I don't have time for Korean classes! Nor the money to pay for them! I called a friend. "Guess what just arrived in the mail." "Your books?" "Hell yes."

It was the moment of truth. I took a pair of scissors and carefully opened the box. There were crumbled pieces of paper that keept the goodies from jumbling around the box. I checked one of them. It looked like an English class assignment. I checked the name on the box. Not very asian sounding. Maybe my gifter teaches English in Korea?

My friend told me to "check the books already". So I did. They were bubble-wrapped. Then I saw the name. Richard Dawkins. The Selfish Gene. Underneath, George R. R. Martin. A Game of Thrones. Hell. Yes. Hell. Yes.

Then I noticed that one of the pieces of paper surrounding the books wasn't crumbled. MrReevers, it said, in red ink. I opened it.

"Hi! I picked these two from your list. I'm both a GRRM and Dawkins fan, so it was easy to choose. Hope you enjoy them! Best wishes, PandaSander"

The handwriting reminded me of my high school history teacher's. I closed the note and proceeded to open the bubble wrap.

Thank you a lot, señor PandaSander! I will enjoy these a lot. I've wanted to read the Selfish Gene for a loooooong time, and even though I already read A Game of Thrones (it was my library's copy), it will be an awesome addition to my library. I will definitely read it again. Now I have to buy the other ASoIaF books.

Once again, thank you a lot, good señor! You are awesome.
