So my birthday is coming up.
I don't know what to ask for. My dad asked me if I'd be down for a canoe. Ok there's one.
I'm thinking stuff like books, cd's, movies.
I just bought Warhammer, Fallout 3, played fable 2, are there any other games coming out soon that are good?
I Read Steven Erickson, George R.R. Martin, Kurt Vonnegut and am starting to get into more classic authors. I'd like to work on more of a classical literature collection, but i'm not big on poetry and shakespeare.
Seriously, anything you guys think is cool.

Also, I'm a fan of gift cards because a card for a music/book store will always get used.
Also our relationship is a but tumultuous, we all suffer from short tempers and can't stand each other the majority of the time.

But Mully is right, why don't you just say a canoe is a fine gift and donate the rest of the money you were going to spend on charity or don't buy anything at all and just save money?
Satans..... hints.....

Those are fucking kayaks in that commercial.
That's a fucking canoe.
Has he come out with any other books yet/recently?
P.S. Canoes are for men Kayaks are for pansies (exception whitewater)
Vonnegut Books that are must reads:
Mother Night
The Sirens of Titan
Cats Cradle
All three of those books...phenomenal.
No, he hasn't. I'll recommend more traditional stuff then (books by the same author are on the same line seperated by commas):
Catch-22, Closing Time
A Confederacy of Dunces
Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon
Neuromancer, Spook Country
For Whom the Bell Tolls/The Sun Also Rises/A Farewell to Arms
The Invisible Man
Brave New World
1984
Absurdistan
Motherless Brooklyn
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
Ah fuck, I wanted to link that.
If he's offering to buy a canoe, why not ask for a geeky gadget like an iPhone or Android phone?
This is the strangest list of Vonnegut recs. I've ever seen. Of course, I'm of the opinion that everything he writes is a must read. Both of his collections of short stories are some of my favorite, as well as Breakfast of Champions.
Aside from that, do you need anything practical? Shoes, jacket, etc?
