Recently got a gift from someone who doesn't know me very well. I managed to act reasonably polite, but when I saw Glenn Beck's face staring up at me from the book cover I wanted to smack the gift-giver over the head with it. We stopped at Barnes & Noble on the way home, where I presented it to the sales clerk and said, "I just got this as a gift, and I need to get rid of it." Normally they require a receipt, but in this case he said he was glad to help me out. Frankly, I would have been happy to just hand it to the guy and be done with it, but being able to swap it for some Neil Gaiman and Michael Chabon made me feel even better.
