Rawr and Stuff:
For those of you who loved the series, the Complete Calvin and Hobbes freaking rocks. Brings everything together so nicely with some really cool extras. That and Calvin and Hobbes just rock so much anyways.
Mikintosh:
For DVDs, purchase The Work of Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, and/or Mark Romanek (there are other ones, but these are the ones I own). The music videos in them are all extremely well-done (good music too), and you get a lot of insight into filmmaking for that kind of medium. They also come with little books by the directors, which are cool and informative as well.

Oh, right, explanation.
Tom Robbins is the best author operating today, in my opinion. He's got 9 books out, including 8 novels and a collection of short nonfiction writing. His writing style is incomparable just because it's so goddamn quirky ... he's got a way with thoughts the way normally "good" writers have a way with words. I'm finding it hard to give an acceptable explanation of why he's so good ... you'd really have to read something, I think. If you buy a book by him, and you read it all the way through and you don't like it, I'll personally send you the price of the book (the scary part is that I'm considering being serious here).

If we do get a book and pretend not to enjoy it will you still send us the money?!?
I might check him out if his stuff is sold in the UK :-)
My reccomendation goes to Bill Bryson.
Some seriously funny travel writing. It's hard to describe why it's so funny, but basically it's tasteful sarcasm wit and irony mixed with hindsight while he's telling you about travelling in some country. HILARIOUS stuff.
He has loadsa books out too.
A good one to look for is "Notes from a big country" which is basically some short essays he wrote for a British newspaper on American life. Seriously funny stuff (well at least I think so) and you shouldn't be disapointed.
Also if you like Bill Bryson check out a book by Tony Hawk (Not the skateboarder...) called "Round Ireland with a fridge" a drunken bet for £100 leads to him hitch-hiking round Ireland with a fridge. 'Nuff said eh.
