Musing Mondays (Dec. 29)

How often do you recommend books to others, and who do you recommend them to? Do you only recommend books to your “reading friends” or to anyone you think might find the book interesting? What does it take for a book to make it to your ‘recommendation’ list?

I recommend books every once in a while to friends but usually only if I REALLY loved the book or if it was one that I particularly thought would be of interest to the particular person I'm recommending it to.

For the most part I only recommend books to my "reading friends", but as I don't have a whole lot of those, the recommendations sometimes flow over onto my "non-reading friends"... and they don't always appreciate it. Then there are those who I get stuck in a recommendation rut with. My sister, for instance, who is only a sometimes-reader often freaks out when she sees the piles of books I've stacked on her desk. Apparently I've given her too much recently.
