The Magus. The best book I've ever read.

I think the Amish mysteries by Tamar Myers are absolutely hilarious. The titles are all food puns, like "Assault and Pepper" or "Hand that rocks the ladle". They take place in Amish country and the detective is a Mennonite innkeeper named Magdalena Yoder. Make sure you read the books in order, since what happens in one book may impact another book (i.e. a character may be killed off).

Get her as many of the 'Fizz and Buchanan' murder mysteries as you can find. They are hilariously funny with really interesting plots and brilliant characters. Absolutely tops for holiday reading - she'll bless you. Any bookseller will know them.

I love Terry Pratchetts discworld series,they are entertaining and amusing.Also Tom Sharpe is also another very witty author,he wrote Wilt.

History of Tractors in Ukrainian. I haven't actually read this yet, but a trusted friend has highly rrecommeded it, very funny I believe. The Island by Victoria Hislop. This is a suspense novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is also informative and compassionate in its story of a leper island in Greece. Do not be put off by the subject. It's a great, uplifting book.

The Magus - John Fowles A difficult book to describe. Fowles was a damn good writer It starts off slowly but i promise that you or your friend will like it.

the beach by alex garland - an adventure book that tackles how our desire for paradise and the want for more can have dentrimental effects in the end..

Artemis Fowl series. very funny every few pages, and VERY interesting. by Eoin Colfer. I also recomend other books by him, such as The Wish List, The Supernaturalist, and Half Moon Investigations. The Shadow Children series. very suspenseful, and not 2 long. by Margeret Peterson Haddix. u can't put it down! other of my favs by her r Just Ella and Running Out of Time. u also mite find Turnabout interesting, 2. The Lightning Theif. a hilarious book, the first book in a series. the books after it r the sea of monsters and the titan's curse.
