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.

STICKY: read it

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.
