 I read the same stuff on holiday as I do at any other time, but when the people from the Observer emailed they kept emphasizing that choices for their Summer reading section should be SUMMERY and LIGHT, as if the world would fall apart if anyone attempted to tax themselves on the beach, which made me want to recommend Anatomy of Melancholy or something. Anyhow, I settled on Bret Ellis, Sam Lipsyte and Willie Dalrymple. You can read everyone's SUMMERY choices here.
