If you’re gift-challenged like me, holidays/birthdays/graduations and other gift-giving events have a way of sneaking up on you. We’re doing our part to help out 
by warning you a full week in advance that Sunday is FATHER’S DAY and if you don’t already have an idea for a present, you’d better get busy. Wait, there’s more. We’re also offering one lucky reader a chance to snag a Father’s Day gift collection without ever leaving the sofa. Our “Four for Father” collection includes these new releases:
- Losing Mum and Pup by Christopher Buckley
- Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood by Michael Lewis
- LIFE with Father by the Editors of LIFE Books
- Crazy for the Storm: A Memoir of Survival by Norman Ollestad
For a chance to win, leave a comment about your favorite fictional father no later than Friday, June 19. (Sorry, we cannot guarantee delivery by Father’s Day, so even if you win, you’ll have to give Dad a card and a raincheck.)
Atticus Finch, hands down.
Kelli — Congratulations! You’re our winner.
Watch for an email with more info.
Ward Cleaver. He never took himself too seriously. June never did, either.
Mr. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice! Not that great as a father but rather entertaining.
I loved Milton Stephanides from MIDDLESEX. Tough as nails, but also a softie.
Mr. Bennet in Pride & Prejudice
“An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do.”
I never wanted any father other than my own.
Atticus Finch; Pongo (from the book “The Hundred and One Dalmatians,” not the movie)
