Recommendations for gift giving.

• The Twilight of American Culture by Morris Berman. Where we are and how we got there.
• Genesis Angels : the Saga of Lew Welch and the Beat Generation by Aram Saroyan. Best book ever written about the Beats. Out of print. Get a Kindle edition or used hard copy.
• Quantum: Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate about the Nature of Reality by Manit Kumar. The human drama behind a revolution.
• USA: The 42nd Parallel / 1919 / The Big Money by John Dos Passos. And to think "the Great American Novel" was already written decades ago! If you want a complete experience, get the Audible audio book and spend an intense 40+ hours with a master storyteller.
