    Can anyone recommend some books for me before I go on my holiers?

    I dont read enough but my absolute favourite recently has been a book by Colonel Tim Collins called Rules of Engagement (ISBN 0755313747).

    Another brilliant one was "If You're Not In Bed By 10, Come Home" (Martin Bengtsson).

    I dont like fiction books, Im more into interesting and factual books, but nothing too heavy!

    Are there any obvious and good books out in the last few weeks that are worth a read?

    Thanks!

    I really enjoyed Home Before Night - Hugh Leonard. Irish childhood type thing, but very good. Years since I read it, must grab it next time I'm home.
