Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess. Not at all the sort of thing I usually read, but I am about to go on holiday to Malta and wanted to read a couple of books set there. So far so good, well written and interesting, though I'm not learning too much about Malta, so far, since it sprawls all over the world across most of the 20th century.
I will probably try some more of his - A Clockwork Orange, I suppose, would be next obvious one to try as it's the best known. Anyone read any others of his and able to recommend the best ones?
I hadn't realised it until after I bought it, but apparently it was named as the third best work of British and Commonwealth fiction of the last 25 years in the Observer in 2006, so I suppose it ought to be good!

Just finished 'Cutting for Stone' by Abraham Verghese. Really good story not the usual thing I would go for. Have been following the TV Book Club on More4. Read most of them up to now and they have all been really interesting. Can recommend the list.

At the moment I'm reading quite a few! as always heh.
The Point of Rescue by Sophie Hannah and have not long finished Little Face by the same person. She's a very good author and I would recommend to those who like crime/thrillers. I couldnt put Little Face down.
