Towering Book Slush

I'm going to Brasil on a five-week holiday next week.

Please recommend some holiday reading, and tell me why you think I'll enjoy it.

I love reading crime novels while on holiday so I'll keep that in mind. I'm also hoping to read a history book, or a biography - hopefully of the page-turning variety.

The New York Trilogy (Paul Auster) is pretty great, although a little off-kilter. Also, Case Histories, Kate Atkinson, is pretty good so far as simpler crime novels are concerned.

You might enjoy Carter Beats the Devil by Glen David Gold. I found it a very easy and enjoyable read.
