My dad is looking after my mother who suffers from alzheimers so he could really use these books! Mom looked after him for years and now its his turn to do the looking after.

Wow, this looks great! My dad loves to read and is probably one of the reasons I like to read so much since he would take me to the library whenever I wanted when I was little.
I already follow you in Google Reader, posted on my blog here: http://debbiesworld.wordpress.com/other-book-giveaways and am about to tweet about it.

My father has been gone for many years, so I'll talk about my husband. We've been married for almost six years and from the start, he accepted my grown children completely. He's now fallen madly in love with the grandchildren and they sure adore their grandpa. He is also a reader, so he is very patient with my stacks of books around the house. He just doesn't understand how I can't seem to part with them!

I'm going to post about my husband who because he is a wonderful and caring father, I was able to go back to school at age 30.
He and our 4 kids were in the audience when I graduated nursing school. I'd have never made it without his support and encouragement.

My father has been gone for many years. I was very proud of him because he worked very hard to raise us (5 kids) and fought in WWII.

My Dad is a wonderful man that put up with a job he hated his whole life because he wanted to take care of his family. Thanks Dad!

My dad has been deceased since 1992. He died at such a young age only 54. I still think of him everyday and wonder what life would have been like if he was still here. He is sorely missed. Thanks for the contest. Have a great day.

My father has been gone for almost 13 years now. Even without a high school education he took good care of his family which included my grandmother who moved in with us. He also served in World War II. I still miss him and wish he could be here to spend time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

My father has been gone for 20 years and I still miss him. He was great at encouraging me and pushing me to do the best I could do. He made me make decisions, which taught me to be responsible for those decisions. Lessons that are very difficult to teach.

This is great! I've read Outliers and would love to have a copy to share with family members.
My father lives in Asia, with a 12 hour time difference. I don't get to speak with him or see him often. He'd spent most of his time working when we were growing up and then allowed us to go abroad for school. I really value the little time that we spend together. It would be great to send him a package with well chosen books!

Dad's been gone twenty years but hardly a day goes by that I don't wish I could ask him something. He was somewhat of a renaissance man and could do almost anything with his hands.
My youngest brother just graduated from high school last weekend and will be headed to the Navy soon. I'm so proud of him!

Thoughts on graduation? I'm tired and I can't wait til it's over! That's just part of it though...my son graduated from college 2 weeks ago and I am extremely proud of him as he graduated cumma sum laude. We had my daughter's graduation party last Saturday and that was a blast! This Sunday is her high school graduation ceremony. So it's been a whirlwind, I'm very proud and very tired! lol

My mom passed away seven years ago, and Dad has not been the same since that time as he just wants to go and be with her. One thing that he does enjoy is reading, and this would be the perfect gift for him.
Thank you,

I am also a high school teacher who still has trouble going to graduation after 23 years. I have invested so much time and energy in preparing my students for the future tha I cannot say goodbye,which, in a way, is selfish as I want them to be able to fly on their own.

Oh, my, tons of comments here! Just posted on Win A Book.
I was raised by my grandparents since I didn't have the most loving parents -- so my grandfather filled in as my "father" and he did a great job. He was a lot of fun and did a great job taking on a child when he was in his 70's and retired! :-) I miss him a lot!

I missed my graduation day from HS because I was a bit lit, hopefully when I finish college in a couple months I'll have a bit more sense the night before. This looks like a great prize pack, please enter me into this drawing.

My high school graduation was fun, but unusual. I went to home school, so I basically graduated with a bunch of strangers. But the cool part was we all got to make individual mini-speeches if we wanted, instead of one or two students speaking for us all.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Grad comment.
My sister asked me to make her grad dress. We went shopping for fabric, pattern, etc. I had it all done on time. It looked pretty good too. What I didn't find out until years later was that on her way into the banquet hall my sis noticed a thread hanging from her hem. So she grabbed the thread pulled then broke it off. The next thing she knew the 11/2" hem was down. And it stayed that way for the whole night.

Graduation is miserable! I hate the attention, the ceremony, parading myself around, and how long and boring they are. :P But still, they always make me proud.

My father has passed away. He served for 4 years in WWII and I'm still very proud of him. I'd like these for my hubby. He's especially love the Lincoln book. He works hard to support us and then does things constantly with our kids. I hear so many women complain about their husbands and I feel very blessed.
Thanks!

I don't think I really realized during my high school graduation that it would be the LAST TIME I would see some of those people. I'd seen them day after day for years, and it just didn't occur to me that they would be moving out of my life at that point. It's probably a good thing that I didn't realize it, since I would have likely been terribly sad . . .
I'm following by email!
I have had my eye on a couple of these books. Hope I win! My dad is a big reader and books are the only gift I give him.

Hey Drey.... looks like you have a great blog here. Lets see.... my kids have graduated. YAY!!!! Oh sorry....
My dad passed away when I was 13 when we had a house fire. I guess if I were to combine the two topics here I would say that I wish dad could have seen my boys graduate. It would have been something pretty cool.... I wish my kids could have had that relationship with someone who was an incredible father to me, I know he would have been an even greater grand dad.
Thanks for the contest!
I didn't want to attend my high school graduation, but I'd made a deal with the counselor that I'd go if he'd let me challenge English. I didn't attend my university graduation.

My dad taught me to love reading. He managed a bookstore while I was growing up - I used to read under the table in his store. And of course I learned how to read while eating from him..
My dad passed away when I was 15. I got my love of reading science fiction and westerns from him.
Have always wished my children could have know their grandfather.

My dad is not much of a reader, but I would love this set for my husband. Ever since we had kids, he hasn't read like he used to. I would love this to get him going again!
