Holiday Reads: October 2013

I normally share my holiday reads with you, so here's the next installment. 

I'm jetting off to Costa Rica again tomorrow for 12 days. I have, however,  been told by my boyfriend in no uncertain terms there won't be much time for reading. I'm currently working my way through William Boyd's 'Restless', but I imagine I'll finish that before it's time to board the plane.  

I read 'Any Human Heart' by Boyd last summer and really enjoyed it, so no surprises, this volume is working out very nicely for me and my reading tastes... unlike when I read Tom Jones... A spy novel I can actually get on with! *shock*

I'm also going to sneak 'East of Eden' (1952) by American writer John Steinbeck into my luggage. Just one extra book. I don't intend onto finish this while I'm away, but it would be a tragedy to be without a novel on my return journey!

I've been recommended this book by a former colleague and borrowed a copy off my mum (who also enjoyed it), so it looks promising for what Steinbeck called his 'magnum opus - his greatest novel.  Steinbeck stated "it has everything in it I have been able to learn about my craft or profession in all these years." I look forward to it!

I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, hence my weekly blog post is on a Thursday instead of a Friday. I'll see you in two Fridays time!

If you get bored in my absence, why not visit my travel blog? This blog is published every Monday, including while I'm away, so take a look!
