Since apparently I don't deal with enough books in my work time, I always seem to end up with more library books than someone without good reading habits can get through. Recently, any free time that could have gone on reading has gone on writing, and once you lose the habit, it's hard to re-acquire. My current thought is that I'm going to try to give my lunch-hours over to reading, to get me away from the computer and doing something different with my brain. It'll definitely do me good.

Having said that, I've been meaning to tell you about what I read on my holiday:

( More From Our Own Correspondent edited by Tony Grant )

( Pirates: a history by Tim Travers )

( American Gods by Neil Gaiman )

( Grave Peril by Jim Butcher )

( The Pirate's Daughter by Margaret Cezair-Thompson )

( One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson )

Moving on from what I have read to where I go next, I think I need some help. The list below is by no means everything I have out of the library, and I'm working my way through Frank Gardner's memoir Blood and Sand as well as How to talk about books you haven't read, which is very light and fun. But after that, I have a problem: where to go next.

Help!

And yes, I deliberately made it radio buttons, because otherwise, I get the feeling you're just going to tell me to read everything! Which would you pick as a good follow-on from a BBC reporter's story and a book about not reading books?
