A friend of mine recently had stroke (at the age of 24). She had surgery last week and is bed ridden for a month.. I would really like to buy her a book that she will enjoy. The main problem is that she is one of the smartest people I know and I have no idea what book to get her... Here are a few of her favorite books and authors: Madame Bovary, Flaubert A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Dave Eggers The Trial, Kafka Ex Libris, P.K. Page An Adoradtion, Nancy Huston Beasts by Joyce Carol Oates On Beauty and White Teeth and Autograph Man, all Zadie Smith Just wondering if anybody could offer some suggestions?

Archyduke posted:Eggers has a new book out, or coming out very very soon-- here's some info . Maybe some Chabon or Lethem? People are probably kind of tired of hearing about it, but "Infinite Jest" might appeal to a Zadie Smith fan. Awesome, thanks a lot. I have read A Heart Breaking Work and his new book Zeitoun is also a non-fiction so hopefully she`ll like it. It doesn't come out til the 15th of July but I`ll pre-order it for her.
