View Full Version : Good birthday gift for my father

11-05-2005, 07:27 PM
I'm heading over to the bookstore in about an hour and could use some suggestions for a book for my father. It's his birthday today. He's a republican and a strong christian so I might be looking to the politics or religion section of the bookstore. He's also a big history buff.

As far as Fiction books he likes authors like Koontz and Patterson. Any suggestions from you OOT fellas.

errr, that was a bad suggestion,huh...

Seriously, some history of Germany from roman times to now would be a cool gift maybe (don't mention the war)

No I think that was a good idea. I'll definately look into that. He's Catholic so maybe something on the history of the Catholic church. Though that might be just as bad, but a good read nonetheless.

He's a Christian and he likes fiction? You can't go wrong with the Bible.

Personally I didnt like the ending. It didnt really tie up all the loose ends. Tarantino would have done it better, IMO
