Don't know about you but I love books. I was once told, as long as you can read you'll always be able to learn. I liked that. And I was able to read a lot over Christmas.
Two books I didn't get to read though, but are now on order are
The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp. I knew nothing about this book until I read a post here.
And Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, written by Stanford Business School professor Chip Heath with his brother Dan. I lifed this from the review I was reading (and now can't remember where it came from - sorry. ) Basically, it's a studying into why some messages stick and others don't, e.g. "we only use 10% of our brain," "alligators in the sewer," "people get drugged and have their organs harvested. Even though these myths aren't true, they persist. And according to Chip it's because they're all;
Simple
Unexpected
Concrete
Credible
Emotional
Stories
Anyone beaten me to them and want to do a book swap?
