    Default Decent holiday reads....

    Usually pack four decent books (fact rather than fiction), struggling this year as I've done a canny bit of reading and caught up on loads of books I've been meaning to read. Last two were The Miracle of Castel di Sangro and A Season with Verona, the former excellent and now in my top 5 sports books, and the latter very good and in my top 10.

    Any recommendations? Doesn't have to be sport mind.

    If you're into music then I'd seriously recommend Bit of a Blur and Touching From a Distance.

    Obviously they're biographical so you'd have to be interested somewhat in the people concerned (Alex James and Ian Curtis respectively). The two best music books I've read thus far.
