Welcome to my wishlist. This serves the dual purpose of tracking stuff that I might want to buy for myself in the future, and acting as a birthday and Christmas list for other people. If you're looking at this because you want to buy me something, then thanks very much!
For books and CDs from Amazon, it's usually worth looking at the Marketplace sellers; they often have second-hand or new items significantly cheaper than Amazon themselves. Delivery usually takes a couple of weeks, and my experience has been that private sellers ship a lot more quickly than companies.
I've also got an Amazon wishlist, which should stay approximately in sync with the Amazon items on this page.

Music
I'm unable to play (and unwilling to support the sale of) DVDs and copy-protected CDs. While some record companies still maintain an ethical attitude to their customers, many albums released after 2000 are copy-protected and don't work on any hardware I've got (and aren't really CDs, since they violate the Red Book specification). The links below should be to non-copy-protected versions. I can play vinyl.
