GIVE BOOKS FOR CHRISTMAS!!! They are the BEST gifts. What else can you give that lasts longer than a movie, is an adventure bigger than any Christmas day family dinner AND makes you the cool gifter who had the confidence to think outside the gift-card box?
Here's a few that I've read lately and loved!
For the metal loving music geek (or 80s nostalgia fan!)
Chuck Klosterman (you probably did a social-studies book report on his
Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs in Grade 10) wrote the holy bible on hair metal and it's contribution to culture and musical significance not only in the 80s, but every ass-kickin' leopard print wearin day since.
For the Girl who doesn't read much but wants to see the movie:
This is a super-easy, fast paced modern mystery about a *maybe* missing person. No one on our tour bus can put this down!
For the city-dwelling bohemian who has always heard about everything before you:
I read this when I was living in NYC, and while Patti Smith's writing can be a little cliche, she's earned the right by kickin it in the 70s with Robert Mappelthorpe, Janis Joplin, William Burroughs and many other colorful kids at Max's Kansas City. Full of the magic of music, poetry and art.
For the person who wants to go on adventure, and has friends from all walks of life:
I LOVE swedish anything. Film, music and books from this part of the world perfectly captures the space, color and friendliness of Sweden. A story about it never being too late to have an adventure. And it has an elephant. A feel-good, loved-it kinda book.
Go forth, stuff stockings and be merry!!!!
