I had a ready holiday.
I read The Throwback by Tom Sharpe for the umpteenth millionth time.
I read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman which is on part with the best children's books I've ever read.
I finally got round to finish Lolita by Vladamir Nabakov, and I most defintely belong to the camp who think Humbert Humbert is a monster.
I read Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman which was ten times as funny and neary as good as American Gods.
I found The Gropes by Tom Sharpe for two euro and read it in a day, the ending was the most blatent author troll I've ever seen.
I read half of Tehanu by Ursula LeGuin before it got packed up in my suitcase.
And finally I read roughly two thirds of Shadowrise by Tad Williams on the plane home, which was wonderfually inventive epic fantasy.
