Answer 4

I personally would not suggest anything that lacks literary purpose if you're giving it to your english teacher (Mary Higgins Clark, etc.). They may be interesting, but they don't hold a lot of weight in the literary world.

Perhaps The Parisian Prowler (might be under Le Paris de Spleen) by Charles Baudelaire? I'd give her something that won't seem as if you undermine her intelligence, and, since english teachers are generally well read, try and think of what she might not have read. I think any volume of poetry might be good, as there are so many poets out there and you always get something new out of the prose no matter how many times you have read it. You could get Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman or anything by Baudelaire, Dickinson, Lowell, e.e. cummings, Angelou, Frost. Any of those should hold up well as a gift.
