Author Lucy Diamond is writing on her blog today about choosing her greatest read for a Waterstone's promotion (and on our sister site, Bridalwave, about her forthcoming wedding). She's chosen John Fowles' The Magus (for her greatest read, not her wedding).
I remember being dazzled by it first time around, mesmerised by the twists and mysteries, never quite knowing what to believe or expect next. When I think of it now, I think of bright blue Greek island skies, heat, intrigue and illusion. And I know I did that (rather dangerous) reading-whilst-walking-along-the-street thing with it, loath to put it down - which is always a sign of a fab book.
And since Helen and I have been choosing our favourite summer reads too, I wondered about yours.
So what is your ultimate summer book? Let us know.
