Holiday book recommendation?

[syncro]

10 hour flight tomorrow, need to find something to download onto my kindle-me-bob.

Any recommendations?

If you haven't read them A Confederacy of Dunces - John Kennedy Toole, a book I like to thrust into people's hands and Diary of a Nobody - George & Weedon Grossmith again another must read, and which on Kindle won't cost you a sov, guv.

Day of the Jackal

& Godfather

for unputdownable reads (provided you haven't seen the films, of course) that do not require too much holiday brain power.

Thoroughly enjoying Neal Stephensons latest 'Reamde'. at 1000 pages it should absorb the flight nicely, but it fairly romps along.

Gone Girl - won't win the Booker Prize, but a great page-turner

Robert Goddard's books are a good read with good stories and plenty of twists.

Linwood Barclay, who I think is Canadian rather than American) has written some good page turners in recent years.

Next time I take a long flight, I need to finally finish The Man in the High Castle... but I always get sidetracked by G&Ts and in-flight movies...

[El Pibe]

Ooh, that's one of my favourite books!!

Shock doctorine, brilliant, eye opening and well researched.

You posted yesterday so its possibly too late, but the book I have most enjoyed in the past couple of years is the Keith Richards autobiography, Life. You didn't express a preference for fiction or non-fiction. I highly recommend, a rollicking good read.
