A humble book suggestion request

Dec 5, 2016 6:40 PM

Alright Imgur, I really love books. As much as I love reading them, I love giving them. So for Christmas this year that is what I am gifting friends and family.
Any and all suggestions are welcome from the book that changed your life, to a good coffee table read your mom likes.

Side Notes:
-I already gave Great Grandpa Fred the Kama Sutra. (He loved it of course)
-If you're looking for cheap books my favorite website is thriftbooks.com It has cheap used books and free shipping with purchases over $12 (I'm not associated with them, just helping out fellow nerds)

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

I haven't read that much fantasy so I would love a good recommendation. Farthest I've gotten is GOT and The Magicians if those even count?

Also a good site to read ebooks is bookpile. Careful when downloading cuz ads, take epub and convert to pdf and win

House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. It's an incredibly good mind bender that would be impossible to describe with 140 characters.
