Book recommendations? Anonymous Mon Mar 12 16:39:23 2012 No.2477728 [Reply] [Original]

Hey /lit/,

I'm looking for a book to get my stepfather for his birthday as everytime i buy him music i feel like he doesn't sppreciate it.
Anyway, he is pretty smart, upper middle class white guy who is i think moderate politically (idk if this helps but w/ever).
He likes historical books about people like american presidents or just generally important figures from history. One book he has that i think he liked was that one about america before columbus came (i think it was called 1491).

So, can you guys help me out with a new book to get him? I will love you forever.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 12 17:10:32 2012 No.2477863 Edmund Morris has written a few books on Teddy Roosevelt. American Lion by John Meachem is a pretty interesting read about Andrew Jackson. Is this some kind of weird /int/ invasion?

That video is composed of foreveralones. The comments are the most cringeworthy I've read on Youtube.

I honestly thought I was the only person that ever used "sinophile" ever.
