For the person who has everything |
by Gina Dalfonzo |
Steve (SBK) comments on a previous post of mine that James Lileks "seems a witty fellow." He is indeed. I read his blog religiously, and his books have more than once made it onto my Christmas wish list. Interior Desecrations, a celebration of '70s-era home furnishings, was my favorite gift a few years back -- I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.
This year I'm asking for Gastroanomalies, the sequel to the great Gallery of Regrettable Food. Excerpts and an interview with the author are here. If there's someone for whom you're looking for that perfect gift (and by perfect I mean really, seriously weird), give this one some consideration.
But if you're not sure that will fill the bill, there's always this. (Some pages not suitable for kids. As you'll see from the Amazon links, Lileks also uses some bad language on occasion.)
