Atonement is great although I prefer McEwan's shorter books. Actually I've never read a McEwan book I didn't enjoy and I've read most of them.
The film's worth seeing, too.
Following recommendations on this board I've recently read Tim Parks' A Season With Verona and Phil Ball's Morbo - both of which are excellent.
"Verona" should strike a chord with many Rovers fans detailing obsession with an occassionally successful, often struggling but always unfashionable club.
"Morbo" is a great history of Spanish football from the point of view of an English ex-pat. Very informative, often funny (the author has a great eye for the absurd - something very common in Spanish football) and dispels some lazy myths about regional separatism. Rovers even get a mention, which was a bit of a surprise.
Currently taking a break from footie books (Chuck Klosterman's "Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto"). I'll be reading Phil Ball's "White Storm" very soon.
