I bought Dexter last year - brilliant book - couldn't put it down.
I lent it out to Linda, the guys and girls at work and everyone loved it.
Based on the TV series about a "Good" serial killer who kills bad guys -
great edge of seat thriller and you can't help but cheer him on!!
Series 3 started on FX fri 22:00.

Got to admit I'm hopeless on holiday. As some people know (Mick & Sally especially) I'll read a book a day! Trouble is that would be my baggage allowance for a 14 nighter. I save them up and pass to Liz from Willies Wash House for her winter reading! Wow a Scot who isn't tight? Are you reading Chris?
-

Jules
If you like a good girly read any books by the Irish girls - Sheila O'Flanagan, Patricia Scanlon, Maeve Binchy or any of the Shopaholic books.
I have collected about 4 or 5 books to take in July. Also at the Teresa they have a good selection of books for swapping.

If I could be allowed to fantasise...Behave Chris.... Down Tony! I would love to read a full blog of every posters holiday in 2009. From warts and all views of Premises, rooms, fellow guests, bars & tavernas and food & drink. Each meal to be captured in perfect detail. As travelogues go it would be one I just wouldn't be able to put down. I would really like to see those of SueLa and JulesT as we will miss them this year!

Wilbur Smith's new book 'Assegai' is in my case already, as is 'The associate' by John Grisham. They will keep me going for a fortnight.

Jules.... I am a big fan of an american writer called Anita Shreve... anything by her is worth reading, but especially... the last time they met.. also her best is prob light on snow... I often change books at Noulas (either office ) cos i go through that many! (Also like anything by Rose Tremain) I get all of my books from local charity shops and then re-cycle except i usually buy the newest Shreve when it come out. Just bought the ds 100 books chip for my ds... but cant read them in strong light...

I'm not a good bookworm, but I'm daft on Motorbikes! so I buy a Motorcycle News at Newcastle Airport, and by the end of my 2 week holiday, I've read the MCN.....twice!! I must add that once on holiday I did read John Mcenroe's autobiography, and I couldn't put it down! Try it! 8)

The latest Maeve Binchy book is call Heart & Soul and brings characters together from Quentins, Scarlett Feather and Night of Stars and Rain - I couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed it.
Shopaholic books are as the title says - books about a shopaholic and are by Sophie Kinsella.

I like a laugh on holiday, so I am taking "Ruinair" by Paul Kilduff, subtitled "How to be treated like sh*te in 15 different countries and still quite like it". It has had quite good reviews. I may not read much though as I enjoy people watching and just watching the world go by. (Now that's what I call leisure!).

Colin - we must have the same DNA on this - it's such a good "Crack" to play the game!!
We do vary it a touch and call spot the grot, spot the German (sandles with socks!!), etc.
