risk recommendation

If you find a book 
and it's one you can read 
sometimes 
you think maybe someone 
else can read it too. 
You have to decide:
it's recommendable. 
It reflects on you if they love 
it. It's a thanks given gift, 
but what if they can't read it?
Then they know you're
incompatible. Your taste 
fails the sniff test. Their 
judgment foams over you 
in a thick lather and forever 
more that book hangs between
you like a barrier. You have 
to decide. The risk is too great
maybe not to risk, but 
that's on you if you don't. Maybe 
better finish the book
first. Then see how much
it grows on you
