Each capter a day in December, this is the perfect pre-Christmas read. I read it every advent with my children.
The Crow RoadThe Crow Road by Iain Banks
Buy used from: £0.01
Banks is a brilliant writer, and this is one of his best. There must be some kind of kinship between Scots and Norwegians, because I can really identify with the family and characters in the book.

Comedy, drama, intrigue, and some of the best descriptive writing in literature. One of O'Brian's 20 Aubrey/Maturin novels. They are all good, and I am a better person for having read them.
