What books have you asked significant others / family members for this coming holiday season? Which ones will you gift upon others?

I just gave them my Amazon wishlists. There are about 2,000 books on there for them to choose from to get me. And for the non-computer-literature ones, I just said B&N gift cards. just anything but more socks oh god.

None of my family are readers, except my little sister somewhat. I'm probably going to try and get her a fancy illustrated astronomy book, because she's into that. My mom used to be a huge reader, but she's raising too many kids to have free time lately. I don't even think my dad is literate.

For my significant other, I may get him something Vonnegut related and special, like one of these:
