This is a cri de coeur here

So this month we have Power and the Glory GG on order, Curious Incident of the Dog, Haddon, and the Art of War Penguin Classic version. Now looking for the Greene I came across some Hesse he had an Indian phase, maybe Kafka I thought, but maybe it needs something lighter to balance, Some Calvin and Hobbes maybe, or Asterix and Obelisk. The woman is into Meera Bhai a classical poetess from the north but the point of a good pressie is that it should be something you wouldn't buy yourself but are really pleased to have, a window on other worlds, if she writes back she can have what she wants and if she never receives them sends a frisson of shivers. I hope that visit to Pondicherry has not made me too French. So last orders priority given to them what has not recommended before.
