Good books?

[kirsty b]

I read allsorts too, James Patterson, Terry Pratchett, Tom Clancy, Kyle Mills
For more lighthearted reading, although equally enjoyable Jilly Cooper, Carole Matthews, Jill Mansell, Katie Fforde.

Terry Pratchett for sheer laughs, some Neil Gaimon (can be a bit patchy/wierd) and Bill Bryson are good for me - and for holiday reads any detective/thriller - Ian Rankin, Ruth Rendall etc.
