Feel it? That chill in the air? It's not the weather turning -- it's the realization creeping up on you that you're going to have to start your holiday shopping soon. To get you in the mood, we're asking you to think back to the most memorable book you ever received as a gift. Memorable for good, or, perhaps, for bad. Tell us what it was and why it was so significant. We'll run your memories Nov. 27, along with our holiday book recommendations.

Write us at Laurie Hertzel, Star Tribune, 425 Portland Av. S., Minneapolis, MN 55488 or at lhertzel@startribune.com.

Happy shopping. Now go put on a sweater.
