Book Gifts

If you like giving books as gifts I have a few suggestions. It is worthwhile to check the collectors editions classics in Barnes and Noble. You can give the comics series of Asterix and Obelisk which is so funny. You can also give the Adventures of TinTin which is a comics series and also so funny. You can give Valmikis Ramayana comics version. My entire knowledge of Indian mythology is from the Amar Chitra Katha Comics about stories of the Ramayana and Mahabharatha.

You can give classics by Russian authors such as Leo Tolstoy. I read War and Peace during the final years of high school. This book has more than 1400 pages but I am so proud of myself because I read it. Jawaharlal Nehru's Discovery of India and Glimpses of World History are great books to read if you wish to know about the history of India. When I was in high school my father who wanted to inculcate the reading habit in me told me I would be rewarded with a hundred rupees if I read Glimpses of World History. It is a book of letters writtem by Jawaharlal Nehru to Indira Gandhi who was his daughter. Jawaharlal Nehru was the first prime minister of India. Indira Gandhi also became prime minister of India several times. Virginia Woolf wrote The Common Reader. It is a book of essays that I like a lot. You can also always pick books from the New York Times bestseller list to give contemperory books as gifts.
