Penguin Book of First World War Poetry, edited by George Walter. I have all these in p-book form, but liked the idea of having them all to hand. My first poetry collection on the 505, and it's not as natural as reading a novel. Nice to have though, and I think the way Walter has chosen to edit it is more of an issue than anything. Not really designed to dip in and out of, more to read as a progression of the stages of life for the poets. Will try reading it as such and report back!
Incidentally, still loving Rohinton Mistry's "A Fine Balance". Anyone who enjoyed Slumdog Millionaire at the cinema should give it a go. Long, but incredibly moving.
