It was already too late when I realized that buying books, or some reading material, was dead as far as gifts go, and how absolutely terrible this is.

They give you clothes not because books are dead as gifts go, they give you clothes because you obviously dress like shit and they want to help you.

3 of my 5 favorite pieces of literature of all time were written by women. So I wouldn't complain if the book were written by a women. Unless of course, the book was objectively shit.
