This is in aid of being prepared when asked what I'd like for Christmas, so please don't just put down your favourite. Try to factor in my tastes, as far as you're aware of them! All advice gratefully received.

Anyway, if you are the kind of lit teacher I had in school, which I think and hope you are not, the kind who gives the students dank, depressing, boring modern works which go nowhere and in which nothing happens except the characters exuding angst (examples: Ernest Hemingway, Joseph Conrad, Evan Connell, John Knowles), then I would say run, do not walk, towards Mad Men, because it's exactly that sort of thing.

Thanks for the heads-up. I prefer to leave that kind of thing to David Gilmour.
