Any more suggestions please.
Like stuff by James. Patterson, John Grisham, Peter James
I'd like three or four books for holiday.
Cheers

The Book Thief. The film's a bit rubbish mind.

I'd love to help, but you appear to be beyond it! His next one is called Dead Boring and after that Dead Formulaic, but they both feature lovely sepia pics of the Palace Pier on the cover so it's all fine.
(advance apologies, I just like my books half well written with clever plots and characterisation - stick with Grisham)

Good read. Film's okay.

From that list, Lord of the Rings, closely followed by the Harry Potter books (yes, they really are that good). And come to think of it, forget 'from that list' - Lord of the Rings unsurpassed IMHO.
Honourable mentions too to some lovely stories based around Sussex - Kippling's 'Puck of Pook's Hill', for example, or some of Rosemary Sutcliffe's best - such as 'Knight's Fee' and 'Warrior Scarlet'.

Child 44. The film is crap in comparison to the book.
It got me back into reading after years of not picking up a book. The Farm (also Tom Rob Smith) is bloody brilliant too

The Very Hungry Caterpillar
I used to love that book, although I haven't read it (or even thought about it) for years.
As for my personal favourite, I'll go for The Green Mile by Stephen King - a fantastic book, and a brilliant film adaptation too.
As a kid I loved The Chronicles of Narnia, and I'm also a big fan of the Song Of Ice And Fire series by George RR Martin.
If we're including non-fiction, then I'll add Vulcan 607 by Rowland White - the story of the Black Buck 1 raid in the Falklands.

The God of Small things by Arundhati Roy. Its the only fiction book Ive read for at least 30 years. I have a mountain of non fiction

I loved that must read it again, strangely just came across my old copy of Puckoon but reading it didn't find it as funny as I remember.

Mrs Crodo has just finished reading Katie Ptices 5th autobiography and she said it’s the best one yet, really looking forward to the 6th instalment.
