My victim was exactly what you were worried about .... fantasy, sci -fi, horror etc - it was truly unedifying looking for books! I really started with positive thinking, well I may just end up trying some of this but, to no avail! Having waded through an awful lot of them simply reinforced my view of a genre that is not for me.<BR/>I look forward to hearing what you do get!<BR/>JulieJuliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060846095995058087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-68739987814160304032007-12-13T18:42:00.000-05:002007-12-13T18:42:00.000-05:00I was worried I'd have to buy for sci-fi nerd or h...I was worried I'd have to buy for sci-fi nerd or horror fan- but the person I bought for has tastes just like mine; he even reads the same manga and has the same favorite authors! Some of the suggestions I saw for me were *so* off-base too- someone recommended an author I *hate* and I was worried I'd end up with one of her books so I wrote to him & asked him to retract the recommendation!Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-14100752939333983052007-12-13T17:09:00.000-05:002007-12-13T17:09:00.000-05:00Hi Marie - yes I am scared to as I really like to ...Hi Marie - yes I am scared to as I really like to be 'in control', ask my husband he'll tell you. I was even more scared when I found out the tastes of the person I was buying for!!! I have never read any of the preferred genre and spent ages browsing.<BR/><BR/>Hope all is going well for you and your santa work.<BR/>JulieJuliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060846095995058087noreply@blogger.com
