Dads are notoriously hard to buy for, so here are two suggestions: The Illustrated "A Brief History of Time" and Ken Burn's most recent magnum opus The War. They're both fascinating, full of
compelling text and images.



The Original Picture Puzzle This is another great activity book to engage any family member around the tree. Life originated the side-by-side, almost-the-same photograph game, and they do it right. Can you spot the
difference? You'll have fun trying.




Transit Maps of the World contains route maps for every urban rail system in the world-from Buenos Aires to Bucharest. Armchair travelers will
pour over this for days and days.





The Book of Bunny Suicides You'll be passing this one around, so everyone can choose their favorite cartoon featuring "little fluffy bunnies who just don't want to live any more." It's funny, it's morbid, it's great for teens and twenty-somethings alike.



There's no better book to introduce a teenager to the joys of reading than A Confederacy of Dunces. The story of grumpy New Orleans misfit Ignatius Reilly is as charming and funny now as when it was first written.
