The worst gift that I've ever gotten

The worst gift that I've ever gotten was a book. Now that my sound really odd coming from me, but its true. I actively discourage people from giving me books, I hate getting books as presents for lots of reasons. One main reason is that people never ask me what type of books I like before they get me one, they just get a book that they like, and very few of my friends/family read alot and my moms the only one who reads the same books as I do. Every other member of my family reads history, yes like text books, and even tough I can't name all the types of books that my friends read, I do know from asking them on occasion and gifts that I've been give that we don't read the same books.
Why do people buy me books for gifts when they know that I pertty much live at both the school and public libarys? Why would they waist their money and my time on something that I've probly already read or looked at and decied not to read it? I gess that they, when they see me, Iam always reading. So they think that I like books, why not get me a book? But it never occours to them that because Iam always reading that I may have already read whatever book they wish to get me or that I have no intension of reading it.
When I talk to my family and friends I always bring up horses, because I love horses. I would rather any horse related gift over that of a book. But to this day the only people who get me horse related gifts are Jessie, my mommy and dad, Kaitlyn my little sister, and once my grandpapa and mother. But no matter how much I hint at my distant family and friends horse related gifts are still in short supplie.
