I love you too!!!

Give her a Bernard Cornwell book. I like the Sharpe ones myself, and I know my mum loves them too. They're quite accurate historical novels set during the Napoleonic wars. There's also a British miniseries about some of the books starring Sean Bean - a man adored by mums all over the world.

Im reading this right now, so far its all about trains and railroads and blahblablah. Does it get any better?

It's pretty silly to be honest. It's enjoyable, at times, in its absurdity but if you find you're actually being pulled in then you're not reading closely enough.

She gets a bit redundant with her philosophy, but the story itself is gripping and you'll find yourself rooting for the characters.
