I bought the new Harry Potter book to read on the journey I'm going on in 10 days, but I couldn't resist reading the first chapter... 15hrs later and I have to find another book.
I just couldn't put the damn thing down... actually I did, obviously I did fall asleep for a while and had to work for a few hours, but I dreamt of witches and wizards and wandered around in a daze at work.
I just had to find out what happened. When I was young I used to read books backward because I was so desperate to find out the ending (but always frustrated myself at doing so because in most books the plot always unfolded a few chapters before the end, hence the reading backwards... I know!), but I did learn that to read it from start to finish was more exciting and suspenseful in the end. Yay for me!
Anyhoo,GOOD book.
I might read The Joy Luck Club...

For an easy fun fantasy read you should try The Dresden Files which are kinda Phillip Marlowe meets wizardry and are awfy good.
Whatever you do don't pick up any French existential novels for travelling with. I read The Plague by Albert Camus whilst travelling to South Africa last year and whilst it was great I was stuck with a bit of the old existential angst for the whole holiday.
Im actually hoping to catch up on a few movies on the plane,therefore avoiding the whole section of existentialism at the bookshop...
