It is one of the easiest things to point to when people ask you what you want for Christmas, birthday, etc.  I too use it for other things than books, but recently I pared it waaay down to just things I would really want NOW.  I use the &amp;#39;shopping list&amp;#39; feature to save a list of items that interest me enough that I want to remember them but don&amp;#39;t necessarily want someone to rush out and buy them for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only have a few friends that I feel I can just follow my whims when buying books for them.  Generally I prefer to know someone really wants something and will read it vs. giving them something *I* want them to read.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/8018047845312639210/comments/default/4004473847161905188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/8018047845312639210/comments/default/4004473847161905188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2009/12/weekly-geeks-45.html?showComment=1260822465560#c4004473847161905188' title=''/><author><name>Carl V.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15948764216438379394</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='28' src='http://www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com/images/hanpic.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2009/12/weekly-geeks-45.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933604.post-8018047845312639210' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19933604/posts/default/8018047845312639210' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-758646808'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933604.post-7976186218648297688</id><published>2009-12-13T05:24:19.123-06:00</published><updated>2009-12-13T05:24:19.123-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I have an award for you today.
