Books and rainy days

Still in holiday mood, I can't find the motivation to tackle any work. It's too wet to garden, so reading has taken over my days. I've been raiding my bookshelves and my top ten books at the moment (no particular order) are:

  • The Alexander Trilogy by Mary Renault
  • Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu
  • Windward Heights by Maryse Conde
  • Eat... Love... Pray by Elizabeth Gilbert
  • Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday
  • The Colour by Rose Tremain
  • My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk
  • Ancient Evenings by Norman Mailer
  • Burmese Days by George Orwell
  • Felix in the Underworld by John Mortimer
