12 Books For Christmas

by John Hawkins | December 15, 2008 2:45 am

Earlier this week, I had someone message me on Twitter and tell me they bought every book I gave an “A” rating to in the “The Last 125 Books I’ve Read[1]” post.

That was very flattering, but my guess is that most people can’t afford to buy that many books. So, I thought I’d recommend 12 books for people to give as Christmas books…

Amazing historical fiction.

Steven Pressfield: Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae[2]

Conservative fiction.

Ayn Rand: Atlas Shrugged[3]

Best self-help book evah.

Anthony Robbins: Awaken the Giant Within : How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny! [4]

To learn people skills.

Dale Carnegie: How to Win Friends & Influence People[5]

Phenomenal reading for Christians Part 1.

C.S. Lewis: Mere Christianity[6]

Phenomenal reading for Christians Part 2.

Rick Warren: The Power To Change Your Life[7]

Best graphic novel.

Frank Miller: 300[8]

Page turning biography.
