Apart from reading contemporary novels and classics that impress the intelligensia (!) I also have a voracious appetite for crime novels by the likes of Sara Paretsky, Patricia Cornwell, Minette Walters, Michael Connelly, Kathy Reichs and Ian Rankin.
I also lust after romantic novels by Jane Green, Lisa Jewell, Freya North and (I think this is probably the
really embarrassing one) Alan Titchmarsh.
I just felt the need to lower the tone!
Incidentally did you know that in a recent Guardian Poll Jilly Cooper's 'Riders' came out as a 'must read'? Shagging in stables.
I've read that too
