This was surprisingly sad and resonating. Seemed like there was no right answer, so I picked Fortuna's cursed book just bc I couldn't get over the fact that the summoning charm is on the back.
I picked Essays on Empathy because I figured it was a fun mix of stories and I figured the "oppressive heterosexual relationship dynamics" one would probably appeal to my dad.
Dad and I never stay in the same aisle in a bookstore. He would check out the books on history, or non-fiction, whereas I'd roam up and down, left and right, looking at everything from fiction and art books and brightly colored comics or children books, to stationery, art supplies, postcards and whatnot. I'd bought him lighthearted manga such as My Cute Neighbor in the past, but he'd said he didn't really understand them. I'd pick Alberto for myself because the theme is actually very close to my heart. And I'd like to think he'd like Alberto too, because he does enjoy the little things in life and poetry sometimes. Love you Dad ♥
I chose Burnt Bridge Redemption, and I'm a little disappointed in myself. That's the least challenging option, the one that would prompt the smallest amount of conversation and certainly not an argument. I could justify it and say that I chose the one most suited to my dad, but I think I'm just a coward.
My dad isn't really into books so I was confused about what to choose, but then I choose The Golden Derelict. I like the cover designs for the comics, especially the Essays on Empathy one.
I picked 'The Forensic Artist' as nothing else seemed to quite fit what I think he would like. Good writing and feels. I wish some of the in-game reviews weren't so mean/superficial, and I probably would read most or all of the comics on that shelf.
I picked The Forensic Artist 'cause I *think* my dad likes thrillers, but also 'cause everything else would be either too deep for him or too over the top (he's not a very self-reflective man, and he's quick to call something stupid if it seems "too childish").
This was kinda interesting. Never though of getting my dad a graphic novel before, and thinking about what I would think he would like was kinda fun. He doesn't like most of the same stuff I do and so it was kinda difficult, so glad I'm not actually getting him a comic book lol

As a former book shop employee, this was great, thank you! it was a real hard choice, but I went with My Cute Neighbour!
I picked my cute neighbour!
I wonder if my dad would read a comic that I gift to him
I picked the feminism one because this guys dad sounds like he has things to learn about feminism.
I chose The Pulsar Code :D
I wish these books were real tho T-T

please make this available for Mac!!
A simple one-two punch.
Haven't had a good cry in a while. Thank you for this wonderful piece <3
(PS: I picked "The Golden Derelict")
Just found out Essays on Enpathy is real
I picked Essays on Empathy. Although those stories would be told best at interactive medium(hehe), I am sure anyone will like the stories.
Great work!
I chose Alberto!
I would have also bought Pulsar Code for myself, though.

Ahh, the stickers caught me. It was all just setup for that, haha!
I chose my Cute Neighbor because he gave me a lot of Calvin and Hobbes books as a kid and that seems like a cute way to bring that full circle.
