Hey JT can't be a bad guy, not if he's a Terry Prachett fan

OK, bad choice of words. You can "ask" what books, but final
decision rests with the person buying. That's why I usually only buy
books I've actually thumbed thru. Rare exceptions to this are books I
already know I will like - such as the Discworld series books. I'm
willing to ask for recommendations about books, but then will look the
book(s) up, in the library, or a bookstore, and only afer I have then
looked at the book, decide if I will buy it or not. And, having decided
that, I will probably buy it on-line thru one of the links I posted.
