Present suggestions!

[hellison]

It is teh little brother's birthday today (26! Not quite so little anymore) and I need to go get a pressie, because I am a Nice Sister.
His request was 'a good book, or something', which is fairly non specific, so suggestions welcome! I may also donate some of the left-over beer from the party, tho I think it's mostly bud, so, maybe not ;p

UPDATE!
For him, I have purchased Lemmy's autobiography, because everyone should read it, the man is a Legend. Also a freak of nature.
And this, because opening it a random, I found it describing Prince Charles as "...the looney feudal shithead jug-eared parasite bastard." and I figure the Brat will enjoy that kind of thing.

For myself I bought another Tom Holt (tho I did give up on him a while back when they were just getting over twisty and pointless) and "The Dumas Club",as per malvino's recommendation, because how can I tell if the brother will like if I haven't tried it? These things are important to test out you know!

Haha, that "Is It Me.." book is top. Read the entry on Keane. Read it now. It makes me laugh just remembering it :)

The Dumas Club is great! Have you read Secret History by Donna ... Can't remember. It is also great. Different, but great.

The Dumas club is grate, doubly so if you know Dumas reasonably well (particularly the three muskahounds). Is the disc down btw? I can read the boards but can't get in at all, but I can't get through to my uni email either so it might just be me :/
