Just reading that thread on 'what are you reading'... I'm ashamed to say that I don't read books for pleasure very often and haven't heard of many of the authors listed. But when I go to friend's houses they all seem to have loads of contemporary novels on their bookshelves, and they're able to have conversations about them too. I have no idea what any of them are so this leaves me feeling a bit left out!
I have read the odd fiction book here and there. The last one I read was 'a short history of tractors in ukrainian', which was great (read last summer on holiday) and other books i've read are by sebastian faulks (birdsong and charlotte grey) and Atonement (which i read about 4 years ago), which was also good.
I'm looking for a decent holiday book this year, but also feel that I should read for pleasure more often, so, what are your recommendations? I'm just interested in contemporary authors at the moment cos I think I should learn about them. I know a lot of the 'classics'. I don't mind whether its sci fi or historical either...
