GiftSleuth

GiftSleuth is a forum where book lovers can help each other find perfect gifts for everyone on their lists. It's easy to use:

1. Post your gift dilemma. (You will need a nickname.) For example:

  • "I am searching for the perfect book for my mother. She was born in 1940 and loves cooking, crafts, and home decorating"
  • "I need to find a gift for a co-worker; I've seen him reading Orwell and Asimov in the lunch room so he must like Sci-Fi!"

    • The more information you can provide about the receiver, the better suggestions you will get.

    *TIP: Be sure to make your topic heading descriptive: include the receiver, your budget, and any other relevant details. (E.g. "Need gift for Mother, enjoys cooking, budget ~ $100.")

    2. Come back often to see the suggestions! (You can also "Subscribe" to a topic - view the FAQ section (at right) to learn more.)

    Finished your shopping? Visit often to give suggestions to others searching for the perfect gift.

    if he is into house - a recent episode (season 5, joy to the world) -they are exchanging Christmas gifts when House receives a mysterious gift wrapped in green wrapping paper. Kutner reads the note aloud, as it says "Greg- made me think of you." The present turns out to be Dr. Joseph Bell's Manual of The Operations of Surgery...

    It should be said that the gift ends up in the bin - but if he likes the series it might be fun?

    Alternatively the catalogue for the bodyworlds exhibition (Gunther von Hagens exhibition of real human bodies preserved by plastination ISBN 978-3-937256-09-2) is really interesting - but I guess he is fairly used to seeing what goes on inside the human body...

    good luck though

    Is your friend religious? Look for a hardback edition (tho' some people think paperbacks more elegant) of Richard Selzer's Mortal Lessons, Notes on the Art of Surgery. Published in the seventies.
