Books For Christmas, Part V - For That Man in Your Life


Books For Christmas, Part V… For That Man in Your Life
You love the way his mind works, even if multi-tasking is not an arrow in his quiver.  You are forever fascinated by his focus, his insouciant attitude towards his many talents, his kindness, his creativity.  His imagination spins intricate webs, never failing to delight.  His humour is unflagging.  Being a man of myriad interests, choosing books for him at Christmas is an enjoyable exploration.  These are a few of the many you think he will love.

    A Reader's Book of Days, I know I would like that one. You create intriguing lists which are dangerous for me, because our TBR stacks are tall.

    Sadly Pamela, the man in my life is not a reader, so none of these would be welcome in his stocking. He is so hard to buy for and I can't think of a single thing I want, so we are leaving it until after christmas and then going somewhere together for a really nice meal.

    Several of these hit the nail on the head for the man in my life. I read him the list and your opening description and he said of the ones that weren't quite his thing, he wished he were the sort that they were.

    Pamela,
    I really must save all of your book recommendations, they are all so good. We drew names this year which means there are no men on my list. But there are men in my life (husband, 2 sons) that would love some of these books.
    Thank you for preparing this extensive list for great books. I trust in your good judgement with good reason, any book I've bought off your list has been well received.
    xo,
    Karen
