Towering Book Slush

[dotinthesky]

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 finished reading London: A Biography this year; it took me forever and a day to get through it, but I enjoyed it a lot.

I used to be ambivalent about Will Self, but I hated his Book of Dave and made a promise to never ever read a book by him again. I've never heard of Julian Maclaren-Ross so I'll check him out. :-)

I also don't like Paulo Coelho. It's a complete mystery to me how he still sells books!
