Update: this offer has ended.
I’ve always loved books. They, more than any other media, have helped to shape my view of the world. Because of that, I would like to give some other folks the opportunity to read some of my favorites. To that end, I am going on an Amazon wish list buying spree. I haven’t decided yet what my spending limit will be, but the basic plan is that you will go and create an Amazon wish list, and add one (or more) of these books to it, and then put the link in a comment here, and I will buy it. You can also feel free to suggest other books that should be in this list, though I’m not promising I’ll add them. The buying spree will go until I’ve spent as much of my tax refund as I’m willing to part with, at which point I will announce that it has ended. Questions/concerns/etc. can be voiced in the comments.
The book list so far:
The Selfish Gene – Richard Dawkins
Paper Towns – John Green
The Bermudez Triangle – Maureen Johnson
Ender’s Game – Orson Scott Card
World War Z – Max Brooks
Making History – Stephen Fry
The Last Lecture – Randy Pausch
Would you believe I’ve never read World War Z? Don’t buy it for me, just wanted to drop that out there for the world to laugh at me. :)
