>receive present
>it's always clothing
It was already too late when I realized that buying books, or some reading material, was dead as far as gifts go, and how absolutely terrible this is.

3 of my 5 favorite pieces of literature of all time were written by women. So I wouldn't complain if the book were written by a women. Unless of course, the book was objectively shit.
