The Long Halloween
The Black Mirror (hardback)

Let me know how they are, I haven't read either one.

Not much of a metal Christmas for me this year, but a good one, nonetheless. My oldest son bought me a pair of Skullcandy Uprock headphones for my iPod. We were in a Staples last week and they had a display of different headphones. I liked these and mentioned how earbuds had been bothering my ears lately. The sneaky kid went back and got them later. My younger son found my U2 CDs a while back and liked what he heard. I mentioned that I wished I had "Joshua Tree" on CD. I had it on vinyl in college and played the heck out of it. He went on Amazon and ordered it for me. Those are the only music-related gifts, but they meant a lot, y'know? I've got good kids...*sniff*

The Long Halloween is really cool...wide variety of villainy and takes place over a year.

The Black Mirror (not finished yet) takes place during Dick Grayson's tenure as Batman...Tim Drake is Red Robin and Damian Wayne is Robin. Bruce Wayne is back, but off doing his "Batman, Inc" thing. I had to warm up to a non-Bruce Batman, but I am liking the story...lots of dark arcs...

Golf Monster by Alice Cooper

I read this one earlier this fall. Great autobiography told with a lot of humor. Even though I was already a fan of the man and the music, this made me appreciate Alice even more. I suck at golf (though I enjoy it!), but I would love to play a round with him!

Not much of a metal Christmas for me either. I did get some much needed clothes and some Wal Mart gift cards. My brother did get me the Black Country Communion Live Over Europe dvd.

A set of two Dio DVD's - Holy Diver Live and Evil or Divine
Avantasia's The Flying Opera CD/DVD package

I was given a Jerry Clower cd last night. Lol

Clothes and gift cards for me.
