    Recommend a good book for a holiday read?
    Hi,

    Can anyone recommend a good book? I am 27, I like good romance or drama books, or biographies. An easy to get into but good read would be best. I have read a few books, my favourite has been the Harry Potter series, so no need to recommend that :-)

    Thanks,

    April :-)

    Depends on what you mean by "easy to get into"; I think this is totally subjective - one person's easy read won't necessarily be the same for others.

    If Harry Potter is your favorite, you might want to look at Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, by Susanna Clarke. An easy read, I suspect, for those who are partial to 19th century fiction since it's written in that style.

    One of the great fantasy novels of the 20th century which has at its heart a romance is Little, Big, by John Crowley. I have probably read it five times over the past 25 years; it's that good. Is it an "easy read"? All I can say is: judge for yourself.

    A good, quick read in the Romantic genre is Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson

    I really enjoyed everything by Charlaine Harris. Very entertaining and easy to get into.

    Try reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer! It's amazingg, I'm sure you've heard of it. Very easy to get into and it's pretty much epic in terms of romance.
