Books as gifts

[ions]

Yes, yes I am.

Nobody in my family reads like I do, so books will not make great presents. I have however requested Borders certificates from my family

i got $120 worth of gift certificates to borders and barnes and noble for my birthday this year.

I suppose this thread could be used to list the books we received for Christmas as well. I only got two this year (so far):

Flanimals by Ricky Gervais
The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory

 

[MonkeyCatcher]

Add Watermelon by Marian Keyes to the above list

 

[Anamnesis]

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

Strange Candy by Laurell K. Hamilton

wow, who are you giving Les Miserables to? I'm trying to get throught it, but the book weighs about 5 pounds. It's taking me a while, because I try to read about 20 pages a day(I can't exactly lug it around everywhere. It's not The Count of Monte Cristo).

A friend gave me a copy for Christmas; it wasn't a gift I picked out for someone. Anyway I have yet to start reading Les Miserables. As interested as I am in reading it, the size of the book is making me slightly nervous .

it kind of is interesting, then gets dull, then interesting again. don't try to read only that book and nothing else at the same time, you'll just give up.

I ALWAYS give books for Christmas, usually to each member of my family.

I got the new Mitch Albom book for my dad.
Copy of Midsummer Night's Dream for my step dad.
Secret Life of Bees for my mom.

Can't remember the titles we bought for in laws and nieces and nephews.

I received The Green Mile set and 2 Buddhism books- and lots of cash which I plan to spend at Borders!
