| | | Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City". I'm atm reading the second in the series "More Tales of the City" and am only sorry I don't have more time to enjoy it because it is so enthralling. You wont want to put it down.
"Girl With a Pearl Earring" by Tracy Chevalier. It's so much better than the film.
Anything by Mitch Albom is excellent light-reading for a holiday but his books are very short. I read "For One More Day" on the plane over to England. The time just flew!
"After Dark" by Haruki Murakami.
"Collapse" by Jared Diamond if you're in the mood for something a bit more heavy.
My mam and all her friends love Marian Keyes on their hols but I haven't read any of her books. Oh and Cecelia Ahern. I did enjoy "PS I Love You" and "Where Rainbows End". Nice light reads, good for summer.
Enjoy your hols! |

| | | Will you have lots of long, dull times spent in transit? You'll never have a better excuse to read something pointlessly long, like "A Suitable Boy".

| | The Fahrenheit Twins by Michel Faber
It's mainly fucking ace. It's short stories, and I like those on holiday. The one that's called The Fahrenheit Twins is super-beautiful, but all his stories are so varied it'd be hard to pin down anything about them
I highly recoommend it.
