Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has been trying to go over all the blogs he likes and catch up on his reading. With the exception of his own site, this is proving to be a little harder than he suspected.

One post that seemed to scream out for commentary wasone entitled The Gift of Reading on the Outer Life site.

Your Maximum Leader found himself going through a whole range of different thoughts reading this post. On the one hand, your Maximum Leader sees all of the shortcomings of giving a book as a gift that Outer Life notes.

But on the other hand, if you really know someone very well the gift of a book can be very intimate and personal. Your Maximum Leader wouldn’t consider giving books as a gift to anyone he didn’t know very well. But he tries to be thoughtful in his book-giving.

You should just go and read Outer Life and see how it corresponds to your thoughts on gift giving…

Carry on.
