Outside of that, I hope to finish reading most (or all) of Philip C. Jackson's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Alvin Toffler's Future Shock and the Predictable Revenue book. I doubt I'll finish all of that over the "holiday season" per-se, but that's what I'll be focusing on in the near term.
