As a public service for those who complain that I’m too difficult to shop for, I’m hereby publicizing my Amazon Wish List and linking to it on the sidebar. Yeah, you could probably get stuff cheaper at Walmart or elsewhere, but people seem to like Amazon.
So if you’ve been pondering what to get your favorite socio-religious, guitar-playing, inconsistently blogging Rabbi, you now know where to go.1
1. If you’re not into the whole gift-giving thing, I’ll just pull out Proverbs 15:27 (sonei matanot yichyeh). I win either way.

Ooh, a colleague just got me (indirectly, via a gift certificate) a different installment of #1 on your list. Excellent choice for the top-ranked spot. :-)
Glad you approve, although by default it sorts by date.
Good grief.
Dear Josh,
I found this quite shocking when I saw this.
My frist reaction is not something I care to mention online, perhaps in private, perhaps not.
My second reaction is that I am not suprised with your choices. Lots of sociology tied into Jewish studies, lots of sociology on its one, and some books on blues and cartoons.
I would liek to wish you kol hakavod on assembling an intellectually motivated, mind expanding list. I would probably buy items off that list.
And I didn’t know that you have read St. Augustine.

Shana – I’ll talk about it any time. I also haven’t really read Augustine which is why I put up the book :-).
f you want you can borrow my Confesssions after i read it this quarter (core class…)
