Well the package from my secret Santa apparently came a few days ago, but before I knew about it my grandma snagged it. She proceed to wrap the whole box and put it under our tree, claiming it as her own gift to me. I guess the joke's on her because the secret Santa gifts were better than what she got me this year. Inside the package I found two old looking chests. The hinges alone fascinate me. Inside each chest were books.

An Illustrated graphic novel version of The Hobbit - I'm always up for a new way to experience the story of Bilbo Baggins.

Big Fish - Awesome, I loved the movie and I didn't even realize it was based on a book.

Dreamsongs Volume 1 - Writings by George R. R. Martin are always great.

The Art of War - I have been planning on reading this before I take over the world. Thanks.

Physics of the Future by Machio Kaku - I've been wanting to read a nonfiction book like this for awhile.

And now I have received a second package in the mail . . . containing The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books with leather covers. I love them. Those books are my bible, my holy text. And they can fit in my back pocket, which is great. Any paperback that will fit into my back pocket has a greater chance of getting carried somewhere. This set will replace my huge hardback book that contains each book.

Thank you Secret Santa. May the hair on your toes never fall out!
