Some people are brilliant at choosing their holiday books.
They'll read Captain Corelli's Mandolin while lazing on a Greek Island, Memoirs of a Geisha as they rush around Japan and take Pride and Prejudice on this bracing English holiday.
Stupidly, I pick my holiday books randomly - which might explain why I spent most of my recent three-week trek around Australia engrossed in this weighty but evocative love affair with India.
