I will write a more detailed post on this in the near future, but if you are looking for a good book(s) this holiday season, I highly recommend The Wave, by Susan Casey, which is a great yarn about, uh, waves. And surfing. It's an absorbing, fast read and Casey, author of The Devil's Teeth, an equally engrossing book about great white sharks, is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. The other book that I am about a quarter of the way through is the Keith Richards bio, which is also absolutely terrific.
We are getting set to head out of town in a few weeks and I'm in the market for one or two other book; anyone have a recommendation?
In terms of music, lots of good stuff out there currently, including Fitz & The Tantrums (where did this band ever come from?), the new Kanye (which is good but not as good as the reviews it has been getting), Cee Lo Green, the new Girl Talk (which is a free download) and Warpaint. As soon as I have the time, I will also write my annual top ten album list for 2010.
In other, unrelated news: I cannot stop eating.

I listen to mostly outdated stuff. Unless, of course, we're talking about podcasts. I have lots of recommendations for those.
Did you get A Visit From the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan yet?
