I enjoy well-researched historical novels, contemporary fiction with exotic international settings, classic 19th & 20th century literature, humourous travel memoirs and young adult fantasy. My favourite authors include Ken Follett, Alexander McCall-Smith, E.M. Forster, Bill Bryson and Eoin Colfer. I'm also a big fan of unabridged audio books.
