I do research to make sure that I find engaging books that match up with their interests, and I almost always succeed! Of course, none of them are hardcore readers.<BR/><BR/>I love getting books as presents, but that's because each year I give my mom a master copy of "the book list," which has a huge amount of books I want to Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-17411589114001500412007-09-13T18:00:00.000-05:002007-09-13T18:00:00.000-05:00Carrie - Gift cards work great for us because most...Carrie - Gift cards work great for us because most of the books I've ever received as a gift have already been read or I would never read them in the first place. It's probably tricker to buy a book for an avid reader than it is to buy one for someone who hardly reads at all...they will be happy enough with the anti-books.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-66992519068728352132007-09-13T17:58:00.000-05:002007-09-13T17:58:00.000-05:00I hate getting those books, too, Gentle Reader.
