This year my S.O. came up with a cheap way to do stocking stuffers - simply put a list of 5 books to recommend to the other person.  I went overboard and put 10 - didn’t cost me anything to add 5 more.  These are NOT guaranteed to be crowd pleasers - just books that I think have merit. Here are my recommendations:

1 The Leftovers Hardcover by Tom Perrotta 

2  Ilf and Petrov’s American Road Trip: The 1935 Travelogue of Two Soviet Writers

5  Last Exit to Brooklyn (An Evergreen book) by Hubert Selby Jr.

6 God in the Wilderness: Rediscovering the Spirituality of the Great Outdoors with the Adventure Rabbi Paperback by Jamie S. Korngold
