Dee succumbs to pop culture in her own twisted way (aka If I had any money instead of being flat broke like I am, I would buy):

CD wishlist:
- Rammstein - "Mutter"
- Dope - Anything, especially if it had either/both of 'Spin me round' or 'Debonaire' on it. These guys are growly rock goodness!
- Lash - Whatever the CD with 'Take Me Away' on it is. I heard these guys the other day on the way down the Clyde and immediately sat up and paid attention. They're good.
- And, at a pinch, something by Rob Zombie. I heard one of his songs tonight that isn't on a soundtrack, and within eight bars, I almost shouted: "Damn, that's good." (The song was 'Spookshow Baby' for those who care.)

Book Wishlist:
- My standard academic books, some of which are actually on my Amazon wishlist. Sun Tzu's "Art of War", Machiavelli's "Prince" and "Art of War", Clausewitz's "On War". And Confucius' "Analects". (One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong...)
- Robin Hobb's Assassin series, so I could re-read it. It was so brilliant.
- Sean Russell - "The One Kingdom" or the first book or whatever it's called. It looks damn good.
- Sara Douglass - "The Nameless Day" which I still haven't bought or read and it's driving me barmy an inch at a time.
- Juliet E McKenna - "The Gambler's Fortune" before the bloody shop sells it and I'm thwarted forever.

Of course, it's standard that at any given time I want to strip the fantasy shelves of the local bookshop. And the above list presupposes that I could actually manufacture the time to read the blasted things, and since I'm well behind on the reading list of books I already own, that's even more unlikely than the money I need spontaneously generating. Sigh.
