What’s Nick Cave reading on holiday?

I take advice from my favourite writers on what to read. This morning, Nick Cave wrote about his holiday reading list on The Red Hand Files. Here it is. I reckon I’ll toddle off and go get a couple of these to read slowly, over a period of months, tiny bits at a time. That seems to be all I have time for these days. They will probably be The Kingdom, by Emmanuel Carrère, and Clete, by James Lee Burke. I’ve added the book covers to his post, below, except for the new anthology by Willam Seidel of which he has an advance copy, so no cover yet.

Nick Cave never disappoints in his Red Hand Files writings. He is such an erudite and well-read man. As you can see by this list, there is only one book on the list which is light reading, or fairly straightforward fiction – Clete. He is a more hard-working reader than I am.
