Deciding which books to take on holiday is a big decision. Here is what I’ve decided on:
The Diary of Anne Frank. This is one of my favorite books. I haven’t read it for about 10 years. Not only do I want to re-read it because I’m going to Amsterdam, but my novel makes reference to it as well and I need to revisit it. The last time I read this book it had a profound effect on me.
The Complete Novels of Kafka. This book is way too fat to take on holiday, but price-wise it was a much better bargain than buying all three novels separately. I am visiting Prague, so I want to read Kafka. I’ve only read his short stories. I want to read The Trial first and then I’ll decide whether to read the other novels now or later.
I look forward to reading these books while I’m traveling. I know this material is a bit dark for a summer holiday, but then…you know me.

I keep telling you– you cannot visit Prague without having read Milan Kundera’s Unbearable Lightness of Being.
It’s one of my favorite novels all-time!
And see the movie too if you can because it’s one of those rare movie adaptations that is just as good as the book!
