Not sure if we have had a thread on this before but I thought it a nice idea to recommend books to each other.
I'd like to start with my last few books I enjoyed on holiday recently.
Magnus Mills - Restraint of Beasts (Booker prize nominee)
Irvine Welsh - Glue.

Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road' is the best book I've read in recent years. Stunning from start to finish.

"The Warrington people hadn't had success for a few years, but there's no speccy in the world as good. They are very knowledgeable and appreciative of hard work. What they like is honesty. They want the team to try; if they fail they fail, but they expect honesty. They know when players don't put it in."
