What's your ultimate summer read?
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.

Your favorite summer books are those that stick with you making an impact on your life. They forever change the way you look at novels and even life.
My favorite summer reads are; Prodigal Summer, Poisionwood Bible,Empire Falls, and all Seven Harry Potters. It's a new challenge every year to find that elusive ultimate summer read.

Prodigal Summer is one of mine too, meg. I read it in the US in 2001 and I've just bought another copy to read this summer.
