I spent about 6 years working at HALF PRICE BOOKS.
I know people who are readers are passionate about reading.
The choice of what to read is PERSONAL.

When I've been given a book as a gift--I take it as a PERSONAL gift. Perhaps more so than most other
kinds of gifts (i.e. Gift Cards).
I think to myself, "Hmmm, this friend of mine is sharing ideas, thoughts, entertainment with me."
I always smile when I receive a book.

I'd like to risk appearing self-aggrandizing for a moment and suggest either of my books as gifts.
First, I'll tell you why.
There are so many kinds of anti-JW books available today (hundreds!) in high contrast to ten or twenty
years ago. Some are written well and others less so. When I wrote my books I endeavored to make them
easily readable, filled with fresh presentation of ideas, context, and factual (non-technical) demonstrations
of how the Watchtower Corporation is a blight on society.
_______________
I think there are probably many of us who have friends, acquaintances, and family who might "enjoy" one
of my JW-bashing books :) It's not the same old same old.
Especially is this true of my Sci-fi novel, THE MONORAILS OF MARS.
On the other hand, the personal story of going through my JW years and ending up in prison may well open
a few eyes and minds too.
