For those who like baseball and its impact on the culture, [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Game-Six-Cincinnati-Triumph-Americas/dp/1401323103/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260513295&sr=8-1"]Game Six: Cincinnati, Boston, and the 1975 World Series: The Triumph of America's Pastime[/ame] is a terrific gift. The book uses that amazing World Series as kind of a lens through which to see the sport of baseball and the USA's 20th century history. It is not written for Red Sox or Reds fans, it's for all baseball fans and history buffs. A great read.

I was in Savannah over the weekend and stumbled on the perfect Christmas gift for somewhere around a third of the folks here.
