 | From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor Every couple of years, there's a new book that seemingly becomes the "it" gift for those who really have no idea what to get you. A few years back, for example, I received a whopping four copies of Julia Child's My Life in France ("I know you love cooking and reading!"). This year, I'm betting I'll see at least three copies of The Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. 1. | |

By my grandmother. And no one else. Maybe I need to re-think this a little bit.
