Anyone got any recommendations for a good read during their summer holidays?
I've just started The Second World War by Antony Beevor, then plan to follow it up with his book on The Fall Of Berlin.
(Actually I'm doing the audiobooks, found them on YouTube). | |

I imagine you've already read the Sharpe series of books by Bernard Cornwell? | |

A classic like The Count of Monte Cristo is a rip roaring read.
Junky by William Burroughs as well.
Steinbeck is good too. | |

Perhaps `Churchill: Four faces and the man` , a collection of essays by internationally renown historians, each covering a different aspect of his life was a good read and might be up your street.
Advising a novel is trickier, but `The Great Gatsby` is just a great story. If you fancy something a little more challenging `American Pastoral` by Phillip Roth, or leftfield `Dirk Gently`s Holistic Detective Agency` by Douglas Adams.
If you want rip-roaring perhaps `Candide` by Voltaire, or `Black Bartlemy`s Treasure` by Jeffery Farnol - highwaymen, smugglers and pirates galore...
I enjoyed them all recently... | | | |

For a guy like you who likes his politics there's Andrew Marr's - A History of Modern Britain. | |

It's probably been updated now.
When I read it, Blair (perhaps Brown - can't remember) was in power. [Post edited 23 May 2019 12:06]
