Suggest a book to read or as a possible gift

With it being the holiday season, I thought it would be nice for those that would liketo, to suggest possible books as gifts for others or as gifts for ourselves.
I am asking you, On The Run Readers/Jog the Mind with Books and Running/Gotta Run Readers.....still trying on names.....to respond to this post with your suggestions.

Here is mine. I just bought Furry Thoughts (gotta check that that is the right name) for my mom who has everything and, whatever she does not have, I could not afford to buy her, anyway. It is a really sweet (Sara, you would so love it) book of nice watercolors with simple, one to two lines warm and fuzzy sayings.
Oh...I also suggest, for those animal lovers, my Mom's Fur Friend's Calendar. Every other page has a great pic of somebody's pet with a nice saying underneath the pic, such as "Happiness is dog shaped"- Chapman Pincher, Indian Author
Ok...that was an obvious plug.
For reading purposes....I just got through listening to Charlette Bronte's Jane Eyre. Most of you probably read it in highschool, but if not, go to the library and rent the audio book. The reader does all of the different accents so well that it is a true treat to hear.

Those are my suggestions. What are yours?

December 6th Book Discussion, Dinner and Drinks

Host:
Sara Feulner
Location:
My House10304 Hansa Cove, Austin, TX View Map
When:
Tuesday, December 6, 7:00pm
Phone:

Please come to the first book club meeting of the BookBabes, No Oprah Bookers, Reading on the Run (or whatever Marla wants to name us next!).
If you haven't started reading, now's the time to start so you can come to the meeting ready to discuss names for the club as well as our first book, "Plain Truth". I am not quite finished with the book so I haven't thought up all of the questions yet, but a couple that come to mind are:
1. What did you learn about the Amish by reading this book?
2. Did you like the book?
3. Would you recommend it to a friend?
I will send some more questions in a subsequent e-mail when I am done reading.
The meeting will be at my house in Circle C and we will have build your own salad (perfect for those like myself with food likes/dislikes and dietary requirements) as well as some fruit, vegetables, beverages, and whatever else I dream up before then.
To get to my house, go south on MoPac, right on LaCrosse, right on Hansa Loop (quite a way down), and follow it around until you see Hansa Cove on your right. My house is Stucco and will hopefully have bright colorful Christmas lights on it by then. If you get lost, feel free to give me a call.

See you all then!
