I always buy my nephew books. He’s 9 so he’s just started reading novels. I buy him TONS everytime I go to rummage sales or used bookstores I buy that kid a book.
And would you believe he told me I give the crappiest presents??? The nerve!

Honestly, you should just give them library cards. And a list of suggested reading.

you rock for supporting a great independent bookstore like book soup. they give so much more back to the community that stores like barnes and noble or just shopping on amazon.

way to be awesome!

My friends aren’t very big readers, either! I’m usually the one who will give a great cd out to all my peeps, but now I’m going to be the bookworm!

I did this last year, and I will again this year. It takes FOREVER but it’s soooooo worth it! Especially when you get together and your friends say things like “that book was SO ME!” :)

Best “gag gift” ever.

i always have trouble picking out books for other people. this year, i joked about getting EVERYONE on my list a copy of Speed on DVD. I mean, really, who wouldn’t be stoked about that?

I love giving books as presents… even to people who aren’t big readers. It’s been great the first couple of years, but the longer it goes on, the harder it becomes to find another book that I feel really fits the person I’m gifting it to… I hope your friends love what you’ve picked out for them, Trent!

Yay books!!! The weirdest thing I have experienced in my life is walking into the homes of people who don’t have any books…anywhere…and they don’t see anything wrong with that.

Your ‘sleigh’ will be really weighted down this year, Santa Trent! Having made that lame joke, let me just say that I would LOVE a book from a friend – what a great idea.
