- Reading: Reccomendation thread
Hey /lit/, I need your advise.
I want to make a present for a friend, and I was thinking about a book.
The thing is, the friend of mine went through a painful break up some time ago, and he seems to be struggling to close that wound, and I wanted to give him a book that coud help him to deal with his feelings.
My friend is not really a bookworm, he doesnt read a lot, and I thought it could be a good opportunity to try to make him read more, so a light book would be better.
Also, general Reccomendation thread.

Kerouac's "On The Road". See him forget about that bitch and explode like fabulous yellow roman candles.
Love in The Time of Cholera.

I hate receiving books too. More often than not it just makes me feel obligated to read something I wouldn't otherwise. I'll only (happily) accept a book gift if it comes from someone I know for a fact is well-read and is also sensitive to my preferences and likely to shop with them in mind. Which has never happened in my life so far.
I always go to book recommendation threads on the off choice it isnt the typical fare for new readers, and I am disappointed daily.
