I never intended to make the list public; it&#8217;s been purely for my own notekeeping up until now. The fact is, I&#8217;ve never been comfortable with the idea of posting a list here on my blog or sending it to everyone in my e-mail address book, because it seemed presumptuous or even arrogant to assume that anyone would want to buy me a gift for no particular reason. (Not to mention the potential embarassment factor once people have proof of how low my tastes actually run.)<\/p>\n<p>However, as Anne pointed out to me recently, Christmas is fast approaching and I&#8217;m not the easiest guy in the world to buy for. So, for the benefit of my friends who read this and never know what I might like (as well as, I suppose, any strangers who might feel the need to send me stuff), I have re-evaluated my thinking about wish lists and decided to go ahead and post a link to mine. If you live here in the valley, I urge you to use this list as a source of ideas only. Write down the title and go buy the book locally &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samwellers.com\/\">Sam Weller&#8217;s<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/kingsenglish.booksense.com\/NASApp\/store\/IndexJsp\">The King&#8217;s English<\/a> need your support. As for my friends who live out of state or otherwise don&#8217;t wish to see me in person this holiday season, feel free to use the Amazon system.<\/p>\n<p>And now, without further lame preamble, I give you:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/registry\/2O6JJ1LGT7OPO\">Bennion&#8217;s Amazon.com wishlist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Happy shopping&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a year ago, I started a wish list on Amazon.com so I could keep track of titles that piqued my interest.
