For adults, I only give a book if they have a wishlist, just to make sure I give them something they actually want to read.Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-89081455323721719372013-01-10T15:45:51.579-05:002013-01-10T15:45:51.579-05:00I try to give books whenever possible, and if I ca...I try to give books whenever possible, and if I can't do that, I will give a gift certificate to a book store. I love it that my young nephews are beginning to love to read, because there are so many great books waiting for them, but in reality, I try to give as many books as I can for holidays and birthdays. My kids love this.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-83359530972735062582013-01-10T10:11:50.254-05:002013-01-10T10:11:50.254-05:00I love to buy books for other people and generally...I love to buy books for other people and generally don't wait for a special occasion to do so.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-34441775009582689282013-01-10T09:52:15.554-05:002013-01-10T09:52:15.554-05:00The problem with giving books as gifts is that it ...The problem with giving books as gifts is that it is an investment of time. The gif tee might feel obliged to read the book given to them despite their complete lack of desire to do so, and resent the gifted for making them read something they would otherwise never read. Sort of like giving a pet.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998996750944114185noreply@blogger.com
