After the success of the elitist music thread. I thought I may open it up to reading.

It is that time of year for a Pimms and whatever in the sun with a nice summer read or Holiday page-turner or book that you think everyone should read and as I am going away in less than a fortnight; I thought I'd ask people's opinions.

What is everybody reading now?

What should everyone have read?

and what is your favourite book?

No criteria for reading. From Nigella's express to Tom Clancy to War and Peace. Let 'em fly.

I'll get the ball rolling.

I have just started Gulliver Travels by J. Swift

Everyone should read Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo

And my favourite book was the count of Monte Cristo [unabridged by A. Dumas

As you can tell I enjoy the French Romantic period.

Your turn...

The best book I've never read.

He never shifted enough copies
Michael's sales technique was awful

Anyway, they're all pulped now

The best book I have ever read is 'the master and the margarita'.

I thought it was a truly amazing piece of literature... I started reading it again the minute I had finished it.

*EDIT* The best book I'll never read

I am not a big reader but every now and again an autobiography catches my attention. Alan sugars is a good read as is Duncan banatynes "anyone can do it" but best by a long shot was chubby browns, very funny and not what you would expect from his stage persona.

Just finished a book called 61 Hours (Jack Reacher series by Lee Child). Best book I've read in ages.

'Rugby matches I've stayed til the end of'
by any poster with 'Wigan' in their user name, is usually a good read, and something to fill your time with, whilst waiting for the toaster to pop up. In fact, you can read it 5 times, while you wait

just finished reading sean longs book,really enjoyed it
would recommend reading barrie mcdermotts book and brian cloughs book..
got a choice between wally lewis,andrew strauss,or bobby robson,not sure which one to start next.

80 days in the saddle by Major bumsore was a good one. I'm now reading how to make glue. I cant put it down!

Read this not long ago as well. Lee child books are good holiday reads.

My book should all read is Lord of the flies by William Goulding.


Current Reading The reversal by michael connelly,

All clive cussler books,most sporting biography's, favourite book is the great grey horse.work the that one out,
