What books do you buy your friends when you're trying to get them into reading?
I've decided I'm going to be that friend that gifts books only for birthdays/christmas.
>Hemingway for the boy that wants to become a man
>Secret History for the girl just starting uni
>Prince of Thorns for the guy that thinks GoT is good
>inb4 penguin
Original beat up copy for reference

Trout Fishing in America
>The thorns taught him a lesson in blood
LOL edgy

How disgusting.

Trying to get your friends into reading seems pretty pointless
>I've decided I'm going to be that friend that gifts books only for birthdays/christmas.
Please don't be that guy, I beg of you. Everyone will think you're either cheap or a snob. It won't end well for you. Trust me.
they're not going to read them dude

If through obligation, they read 1 or 2 good books a year I'll consider it a life well lived.

Yeah it is pretty edgy.
>Okay, I read about 15 pages and felt sick to my stomach. I can handle a war story/ violence, but is it going to be worth it? It was recommended to me, but I don't handle reading certain things well...i.e. violence against children, torture etc....needless to say the very beginning already has me second guessing if I should continue. Any advise would be great. To read or not to read?

Just give them a book voucher.

i gave my friend a copy of american psycho. he gave me a copy of it's a dirty job by Christopher Moore. that is literally the worst book i've ever read in my life. truly, inimitably bad.

Can you tell me how you made those friends in the first place? I don't have any and I'm lonely.

He's taller than them and those whites are inbred. I don't think he's losing anything there.

I bought my sister The Hounds of the Baskervilles before a 24 hour flight to London.
I gave my friend who's never read a book before A copy of The Messenger by Markus Zusak because it uses simplistic language and form but is still a decent story that is set out interestingly

Mostly by organising events and inviting people.

Where do you think you are?

Apart from simple happiness shared amongst friends.
