One thing I rather like about two-day festivals is that even after I've had all the sleep I want, I still have time to learn stuff I never quite seem to have time to learn in the usual way of things. Thus it is that now, festival over, my table is covered in books:

Scribal Culture and the Making of the Hebrew Bible.
Hebrew/English Tanakh.
History of the World.
Bible Handbook.
Torat Hayim on Devarim.
Steinsaltz' Sanhedrin - good for diving into unfamiliar material.
Jastrow's dictionary.
Vilna Sanhedrin - commentaries that Steinsaltz doesn't have.
Yerushalmi Sanhedrin - following up threads.
Soncino Sanhedrin in English for skim-reading.
Yardeni's Book of Hebrew Script.
Rambam, Ahavah - laws of sifrei Torah.
Tur, ditto.
Soncino English Taanit - more skim-reading.
Vilna Taanit - reading in depth.
Tikkun soferim.
Tikkun koreim.

Two bookstands.
Evidence of many cups of tea.

This I like very much.
