A poll carried out by Penguin has revealed that Jeremy Clarkson’s book, For Crying Out Loud, has topped a poll of Britons’ favourite beach reads of all time.
The outspoken ‘Top Gear’ presenter’s book has been voted as the number one beach read of all time, beating off competition from blockbusters including Dan Brown’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ and classics such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
More than 7000 Britons voted for their favourite beach read in an online poll compiled by Teletext Holidays and Penguin.
Chick-lit queen Marian Keyes came in at number two with her bestselling paperback This Charming Man, followed by modern classic The Beach by Alex Garland, which was turned into a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
