• A LaTeX manual
  
• RPG books, especially Mage, Feng Shui, or Aberrant
  
• Castles Made of Sand, Gwyneth Jones
  
• The Magnetic Fields, Sixty-Nine Love Songs
  

One can always hope, right?

I am assuming my geek-iness is not yet up to notch with yours as I am reading the list, feeling clueless. At first sight, I thought there was a manual on the usage of latex (as in the rubbery material used for contraceptives) and wondered why anyone would need instructions for it. After thinking, I have come to the conclusion that "latex" does not refer to this, and probably refers to something I have never heard of. Possibly have to do with computers, or operating systems, or a subject beyong my limited intelligence.

[end thought]

Happy Chinese New Year, BTW... ;)

LaTeX is in fact a typesetting language used in mathematical and scientific writing. Mind you, if I were a true geek I would not need the manual and would be beyond the White Wolf RPG books.

Would it be an even better gift if I sent a copy of Mage: The Awakening back to you, so you would be the only person in 2003 to have it?
Actually, no, it probably wouldn't.
