My bf and I have been together for about 8 months, and we talked and put a $30 limit on gifts for each other this time. To that end, my plan for this is:
I wasn't planning on getting a gift for his family, but I asked and he said that his parents probably will get me something small. :-/ I probably still won't get them anything store-bought really but I'm thinking I'll up my baking game & just plan to bring goodies to any situation in which I will encounter his parents for the next month. My other thought was that maybe I'd make some of these, but was thinking maybe that's a bit weird. (I'm a med/grad student so I don't think it's TOTALLY out of the blue?)
There are so many great books! The Brontes' work, Jane Austen, War and Peace, everything by Dostoyevsky....Sometimes it takes a while to get into certain of the great books, but they always pay off.
Also, in case you haven't read them, check out David Mitchell's early work--Ghostwritten, Number9Dream, and Cloud Atlas all are brilliant.
Ghostwritten by David Mitchell. Link
It might be too early, but this one still shouldn't be forgotten. Like Cloud Atlas, it mingles SF concepts with intertextual literature. It is perhaps a more subtle work, but anyone who enjoyed this month's novel should definitely give it a go.
I also really loved A Suitable Boy. I think it's brilliant.
For a completely contrasting look at India, I recommend the white tiger by Aravind Adiga.
I think The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is absolutely brilliant, one of the best novels of the last decade.
White Teeth is another really wonderful book about multiculturalism and immigrant life that really stands out.
For a rip-roaring old-fashioned adventure yarn, you can't do better than
Sea of Poppies.
Finally for some superior storytelling and brilliant narrative experimentation try Cloud Atlas or Ghostwritten
