The 24 Days of Gift Suggestions: Day 2

A great gift for all wannabe Jeopardy! contestants, college sophomores ("sophomore" means "wise fool," remember?), and any other smartypants on your gift list. Arranged like an inspirational devotional, with a reading for each day, The Intellectual Devotional draws from a different field of knowledge - history, literature, visual arts, science, music, philosophy, and religion - each day of the week, providing a series of short lessons that add up to a a decent liberal arts education in just one year.

It's also great bathroom reading.
