The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson

I really enjoyed this book which is about a man who feels stifled by his nursing home and so goes on an adventure on his 100th birthday.  It is fun, well written and with some brilliantly eccentric characters.  It is not a realistic novel so don't try to pick holes in the plot or over analyse it - it's just a very good, light-hearted story which would be a perfect summer read.
