Book ideas for Christmas
“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.”
So said Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926) - the American academic and president of Harvard University from 1869 to 1909 - in his book The Happy Life. Indeed there is scarcely a better present you can give at Christmas than a book, for it is something that the receiver can lose himselves in, take time over, and return to. It can also open him up to new ideas, new worlds, and new adventures.
