Reply to Do you give books to people? by BwanaAzungu

I love giving books as gifts!

But I also make sure the person knows I have no expectations of them to read or keep the book. I gave the book because I thought they might like it, but they're under no obligation to spend their time reading it.

ETA: the majority of my book gifts are to people I am very close to, whose taste in books I am very familiar with

Reply to Upon some reflection, I didn't actually like the Night Circus all that much. by ThuliumNice

I didn't really care about the plot or characters, but that book was amazing for my imagination. It was quite challenging to imagine everything, and it was a very fulfilling exercise. I feel like after reading that book my imagination leveled-up.
