So, what did you actually read on holiday?

[TheChampers]

Got back early this morning from seven nights in Tenerife and this holiday's reading was :-

First Hunger Games book (historical present a difficult way to write, wonderfully done)

Surface Detail - Iain M Banks; inimitable, brilliant.

Pigs Might Fly - Mark Blake, a very good book charting the history of Pink Floyd

Awful Auntie - David Walliams (not his best but still a fine children's book)

A Thousand Splendid Suns - a coruscating depiction of the events (and the treatment of women) in Afghanistan over a thirty year period seen through the eyes of two women, by Khaled Hosseini; fantastic writing, and a real eye-opener.

What did you read while away?

Do No Harm - Henry Marsh

It's the first book I've sat down and read in about a year through choice due to being busy studying and I'm glad I did. Possibly the best book I've ever read!

Agreed! Heard him on radio 2 either earlier this year or late last year...downloaded it when I got home and couldn't put it down.

I'm going tonight to pick up a copy of 'to kill a mockingbird'. I've never read it and I go on holiday on Sunday....looking forward to it.

I've seen this mentioned a few times on here; thanks, I'll stick this on the "List" I keep for good referrals (I actually had a Consultant last year after a serious health issue which "should" have required surgery say (after deciding against the knife) my first rule is "do no harm") Lucky me
