Books are what my kids have given for Fathers day. Excellent gifts, anytime, books are no brainers but what can make them really special is an autograph from the writer.

Check out this free song Darrell Scott put out for Father's day.. I really like it.

The Iliad and The Odyssey???? Really? I don't doubt there are scholarly fathers out there, but that sounds like a really boring gift for Father's Day.

My pick: The Sportswriter by Richard Ford

Ooh, books! I love books. Have you guys seen the book Geek Dad by Ken Denmead of Wired? We've included it in our Dadgets post at http://bit.ly/cP07WP It's a fun book filled with "Awesomely Geeky Projects and Activities for Dads and Kids to Share" :) Kinda wish there was a book like this for my dad and I when I was younger.

Anything written by Bill Ayers that Obama claimed to write, but won't admit to having Bill's help because Bill is just another guy in the neighborhood.

Like what? And by the by -- that talking point didn't prevent Barack Obama from becoming our president... you might want to get with the times...

Maybe your kids will get you DirectTV for Father's Day. Then you won't be stuck watching Fox News Iies.

"The Kvetcher in the Wry." Now that is a GREAT line.

Does your father have, or love dogs? Gave you YOUR first mutt?

then check out "I bark because I do!" on Amazon. A friend of mine wrote it; I would highly recommend it even if a total stranger had.

Not exactly on topic, but where's the list of the "worst fathers ever" like this site did for mothers just before Mother's Day? Or wouldn't they be so unbelievably tasteless and crass where men are concerned?

For dad, mom or the kids, there is nothing better than Homer!
