My eyesight is getting shot by looking at a monitor for so many hours, both at work and off work, so Doc said to switch to analogue - if I have to read something, let it be books.

I'm into pretty much all genres, so if there is any book you particularly like or recommend, I'm all ears (and eyes)!

EDIT: thanks for the great suggestions, I'm checking all of them!!!

If you want something fun, weird and easy to read (scifi/fantasy):

Life, Liberty And The Persuit Of Sausages by Tom Holt

Fun even weirder (scifi/fantasy):

Shades Of Grey by Jasper Fforde

Fascinating and thinky scifi:

Beggars In Spain by Nancy Kress

Beautifully written feminist scifi:

Native Tongue by Suzette Haden Elgin

The top two have a very British sensibility baked into the text and won't be as funny if you don't get the cultural references.
