Reading List

Having recently completed a dissertation on difficult books (whose stupid idea was that??) I am now revelling in more pleasurable reading material. As every book-obsessive will tell you, the choosing of holiday reading is a joy to be savoured. I'm not allowing myself to take too many novels as we also have to take various guide books and maps. And I figure we can always buy books where we are should we run out - as my sister will tell you, I can spot a bookshop from a hundred miles away. However, I have managed to convince Marv that he wants to read the same books I do, so I'm allowed three pretty hefty tomes:

A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth
The Crimson Petal and the White - Michel Faber
The End of my Tether - Neil Astley

Apparently they're all page-turners. I'll keep you posted.
