suitable for a Mother's Day present? My Mum completely loves reading and I know she'd love a nice bundle of books! The thing is I have until Sunday to choose them and I'm at a bit of a loss! While I love books too, my Mum and I have very different taste. She likes more realistic books, what I would call "drama" books, about people and relationships and often families stuggling in difficult circumstances! Things set earlier in the past seem to be a favourite, especially earlier in the 20th century, and she has to believe that it could happen - she often laughs at my love of fantasy! Oh, and she's read pretty much every classic from the 18th/19th century so it probably has to be more modern...
So, bearing all that in mind, can anyone help? I think I've really set myself a challenge this year but I want her to enjoy her present.
Thanks!

This is me at the moment! I can't read at all during term-time (I'm a university student) and I haven't been able to since I began 6th form, so about 3 years now. It's awful, I used to read 2 or 3 books a week but I work so hard now that my brain can't cope! I do miss it, but at least I enjoy it a lot in the holidays!

Thanks everyone, you've been so helpful! Any other ideas are still appreciated, but I think I've got enough to keep the society going for a long time already!

Hi,
I was hoping you could all help me! I'm currently helping to set up a book club/lit soc at my university and it's proving a bit difficult for us to choose the books! Preferably we're looking for a mixture of relatively short and relatively easy books, as everyone has so much work to do! We want a bit of substance though, so there's something to discuss. Anyway, I was thinking that you are the perfect people to help, so any ideas? Thanks.
Can anyone recommend some books...
