CA's father might be my hero.

Anyway to answer my own thread...


I LOVE BOOKS.

Every time he moves house we donate boxes and boxes of books. He also has an apartment in surfers paradise where he has a book shelf with about 200 books on it. Apparently he has had return bookings who asked for his room in the building during the stay due to the books.

If you have a PO Box or safe address that’s not you actual home I’ll post it to you once he’s done.

Not really but I’m pretty comfortable sending my home address. To you that is. I mean, when I sent out prizes to our sponsor people I got their home address and haven’t felt inclined to stalk them (yet…)

Old man’s latest reads. He’s currently reading JFK and the unspeakable for the third time Proper Gander which he says is the best JFK book he’s read, so Mr Gander might love this as a gift along with devils chessboard.

Second pic is his newest book which is apparently very good.

This is gold and thank you crimson.

Next year I need to get in early with a Hell thread called “What to buy Mr Gander for his birthday” because I reckon I’ve raised the bar with your suggestions this year

Hey Crimson Azure .

I’ve ordered the Devil’s Chessbord, JFK unspeakable and NIYL. The first two will be delivered in the next few days. The last within 10 so I’ve got a birthday present sorted in advance for once. All three have spanking reviews so your dad knows his stuff.

I’ll let you know the verdict. And I’ll have a read myself

What generally happens is we'll discuss a subject and he'll express an interest in learning more on the subject and I'll go away a read a ton of reviews and get the best book or two on the subject.

A tip I've been using for history/auto/bio type books is for every 5 star review I read try to read a 1-2 star review to find out why some people didn't rate the book. Found it a great way with the JFK books as some gave it 1-2 starts and wrote a full essay on why they disliked the book. These people seemed to be as knowledgeable as the author on the assassination and most said there wasn't that much new info.

Idk, when everyone rates something 5/5 but it's rated at 4.8/9, I feel the need to know why some didn't like something everyone else seems to love.

I'm in on this, always enjoy helping people think of good and different presents to buy for others.
