I want a book I can give to a woman as a present and that she'll most likely read.
The catch is I will read before giving it to her so we have something we can talk about.
Pls just don't recommend me any YA fiction, she isn't into that genre anyways

Never get someone a book unless you really know their tastes otherwise you're giving them either a burden or an unpinned and unpredictable grenade that will probably blast them with a very awkward conversation. My wife's friend gives me weird Christian fiction books every year for my birthday even though I haven't been in a church since my wedding day and I'm stuck reading them out of fear she'll ask me about them.

I just think christians would do a lot better with the message if you didnt feed your vanity by bringing every topic to you. At least meet us half way, shit. You could have provided a secular option relevant to the threat and then also recommended the bible afterward, but no, you implied the question itself was bas since it happened to concern anything but praising jesus, god forbid.

Unironically Middlemarch if she’s into romance novels, or kinky erotica like The Story of O if she’s into that type of thing. I’ve had success giving both of those books to previous lovers, on the other hand I didn’t end up marrying either of those women so I’m not necessarily a good source of advice

Yeah, typically mass media, movies, television, music, games, entertainment, etc.

One marketing campaign or movie and the discussion of most of the online world will talk about the same things and in the same nonsensical terms (like you've done) and get nowhere fast; or people will rapidly adopt a new narrative or some revised history simply because it's packaged in a nice and shiny movie or TV series with cool CGI effects and celebrity actors or celeb voice actors.

Also, going to church doesn't make someone Christian; any Christian man or woman would wait until marriage and wouldn't speak of their private life publicly.
