What are some good gifts for literature fans? What gifts have you given which made them the happiest? Which gifts have you received that you liked?

>Good gifts?
Something by their favourite writer.. IMO a collection of short stories or essays is a great gift.

>Gift I liked?
My bf doesn't read often but we both like John Steinbeck so for Christmas he gave me a book of (I think five) John Steinbeck stories. It was sweet.

>What are some good gifts for literature fans?
1. Money for books.
2. Gift card for a book store.
3. Books.
4. Good notebooks: the kind with the paper that's comfortable to write with a pen in. Something like Moleskine's but the paper type is more important than the brand. I wish I could tell you want mine is but it doesn't have a label on it.
5. Good pens: felt tip pens or fountain pens.

Probably get one of those e-readers like the ones Amazon sells that are readable even in sunlight if your literature friend doesn't have one already just so he/she can try it.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 23 02:34:22 2014 No.5046821 Books. If possible anthologies or collections are great, but so are good editions with essays and criticism and biography and all that. Make sure you leave message on the back of the cover, it's nice to look back at them.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 23 11:03:48 2014 No.5047798 I gave my Danish teacher Blood Meridian. He said he would read it over the winter holidays. That was 8 months ago and he has not completed it yet. I don't think he ever will. He is just being nice, which is fine, I guess.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 23 11:15:12 2014 No.5047831 I gave my niece the Fault in Our Stars. It was really mediocre, even for YA, but she really loved it and hopefully it'll get her into better stuff. For adults I usually give them short story collections by an author they (or I) like.
