$50 Gift certificate to Three Lives & Company in Greenwich Village, "one of the greatest bookstores on the face of the Earth. Every single person who works there is incredibly knowledgeable and well read and full of soul. You can walk in and ask anybody, really, what they've read lately and they'll tell you something - very likely something you've never heard of. [But] it's always going to be something interesting and fabulous. I go there when I'm feeling depressed and discouraged, and I always feel rejuvenated." - Michael Cunningham, winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
