Have you bought any books this year to give away as Christmas gifts?

>> No.8861500

No, every time I gifted a book the person smiled awkwardly and then I would see it sitting untouched in some corner of their apartment. That was back when I had friends.

My husband asked for a journal of writing prompts, so I'm making one for him this week. It's technically a book.

Other than that, I haven't gotten around to buying many presents yet, but books are one of the more common types of gifts in my circle of friends. One friend in particular really likes Agatha Christie lately, so I'll be looking into that...

Anyone have any Poirot novels to suggest?

That's a nice present, Mrs. anon. Yours is a lucky husband.

Everyone, let's not hate this poor woman here for being such a god-awful normie. It's Christmas season.

My favourite by Agatha Christie is "And Then There Were No More Little Niggers". Yeah, pretty edgy title, don't know what she was thinking.

I bought Notes from Undergound to give to a reclusive family member. I'm not sure it was the best idea.

I got my dad a copy of "Canticle for Leibowitz" because he was talking about it a lot to me.

I don't know if he was recommending it to me or not, or if he already even had it. It was seven dollars.
