‘A Bit Of A Blur’ by Alex James. I’m still waiting for the bit where he owns up to what complete w@nkers they all were… still waiting…

just finished the absolutely brilliant “Graveyard Book” by Neil Gaiman, and I’m currently reading “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall”. If you haven’t read any Gaiman (and you surely must have), then I could heartily recommend any of his stuff, although especially “American Gods” as a good chunky read, or his short story collections.

As for Bond, the books are great, and they will be good holiday reads too. You could do worse than also take a collection of the short stories. They’re really good (and will include “Quantum of Solace”, then you can see what the story is really about!)

Just finished “The End of Mr Y” by Scarlett Thomas. Highly, highly five-star recommended.

If you are going to Spain you could do worse than read Chris Stewart’s “Driving over Lemons” and “A Parrot in the Pepper Tree”- about settling in Andalucia. Funny and lovely and will make you want to set up home there. (He was Genesis first drummer, you know- but only for five minutes)
