Giving to Pamie’s annual book drive will give you good karma. This year books are going to libraries along the Gulf Coast that were ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, but missed a lot of the media attention.
I gave a copy of Atlas Shrugged because it’s my favorite book in the world. (Note: the mild irony of donating copies of Atlas Shrugged does not escape me) I got my first copy of Atlas Shrugged as a “you HAVE to read this” gift and I’ve given copies to others for the same reason. My friend teases me because when I see someone reading this book in public I have to restrain myself from talking to them (especially if the reader is a cute boy.) I also donated Paul Johnson’s “Creators” because he’s a phenomenal historian and more people should have the opportunity to read his books.
