Chekhov's Mistress
And Let the Season Begin
The National Review starts the X-mas buying frenzy with bookish gift suggestions (Your Christmas Gift Guide, Nov-23-2005) from their contributors (link via “About Last Night”). Terry Teachout comes in with the best suggestion of the bunch:
I’ve given away any number of copies of the Library of America’s one-volume Flannery O’Connor anthology, Flannery O’Connor: Collected Works, which contains O’Connor’s complete novels and short stories and a well-chosen selection of her letters and essays. It’s one of the dozen books I keep on my desk so that I can consult it without having to go to my bookshelves, and rarely does a week go by without my dipping into it. I can’t think of a better present for the serious reader.
If that doesn’t get you in the mood for holiday shopping, try BlackFridayWatch.com (link via “onepotmeal”).
