Recommend Books, Please

[queerbychoice]

It's that time of year again and my mother is demanding a birthday list from me. I have an old list that I've been using for years and just crossing things off as they were bought, but I'm bored with everything left on it so I want to compose a new one from scratch. Recommend some stuff I should ask for, please. Especially books. Usually 85% of what I ask for is books.

Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc...?

Have you read all of Arundhati Roy's books? Anything by Sherman Alexie? Annie Dillard's "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek"? Am thinking of what to recommend.

I've only read The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy so far. I've read Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek as well as her book The Writing Life and, uh, something or other else by her. I've never heard of Sherman Alexie but will look her up.
