I read Invisible Man back in the 70's, and would actually like to read it again. But Tom's right, it's not exactly light summer reading. The two books with Djinn in their title didn't really excite me, though I don't have anything against them, other than the length of one of them.
Nothing But Blue Skies by Tom Holt looks like fun. I don't understand the lack of love either. I'm quite glad issybird nominated it - I'd likely not have found it else. I really hope we can get some more votes for it.
Wodehouse is what he is. My guess is even better in audio format, since we have a Frederick Davidson narration available, always a pleasure. There's also a Jonathan Cecil narration, which would be good, but appears to have serious audio problems, so the Davidson one will be my choice if we go for this.
And Death in the Dordogne / Bruno, Chief of Police, despite issy's dislike, is a (mostly) cozy that I quite enjoyed the first time, including an excellent audio version. I haven't re-read it before, so I'll be interested to see how it holds up to that if we choose it.
