Holiday reading - help/recommendations needed!

[Desaparecido]

I'm off on my Jollies soon, but I realised I need a book to read, the missus likes the ones in the Richard and Judy book club, but I prefer better. I realise this sounds snobbish but unfortunately it's true.

Holiday book suggestions then?

Maybe I can get a real-life update from Reidy's BOG who I think is on holiday at the moment!? b)

What would youse recommend?

I found him very annoying for some reason. It was the way he would go off on a two page rant about nothing, like suitcases for example. *edit: Just remembered the term of what I didn't like. It was the stream of consciousness.

But I've read it! I liked it. Spikeman I've encountered many people who were forced to read it not enjoying it, it is quite idiosyncratic so I think it's best revisited.
