Going on hol - need an addictive good book to read...

Going on holiday inshallah in december and i need a book that i need to read on the beach..oh yeah that kind of holiday…going for 3 weeks inshallah so come on people…help me…

It should be addictive and kind of a book that you cant put down and ofcourse it has to be in English.

Last book that i was truely addicted to and was one of my fav was “Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khalid Housseini…one word AMAZING!! I was so addicted that my husband was dragging me and nagging me to go out…

So can you help…:slight_smile:

I'm assuming you have read the Kite Runner, if not, then definitely read it.

Another book is Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt, its a bit depressing but its very addictive. I found that his subsequent books were not as good as the first.

People say "A suitable boy" its a very long book, so good for hols. I remember reading it as a teenager, but I couldn't finish it. Would like to read it now i think.

Also, " I am David" by Ann Holm.

Twopence to cross the Mersey" and the entire series, apparently true story about the author, again very sad, now I wonder how much of it was exaggerated!

"Sister Of My Heart"....you won't put it down.

3 weeks on the beach? :stuck_out_tongue: i’m jealous.

some books that i couldn’t put down:

  • gone with the wind by margaret mitchell
  • anne of green gables by lucy montgomery
  • a fine balance by rohinton mistry
  • harry potter..all of them :blush:
  • the testament by john grisham

oh and when you go, take more than 1 book with you because maybe, maybe you’ll want a change of story, so you can easily swtich books. :smiley:

Okay I recently read 'Second Glance' by Jodi Picoult. VERY good book IMO. Loved it and the storyline was quite different.

A book one might find addictive might not be so addictive to other. That being said , I have read many books , Roots by Alex Haley is the only book which I found addictive for me so far.
Roots: The Saga of an American Family - Google Book Search
