Let us know how you get on with Engleby; I found it quite a challenging read. I absolutely loved Birdsong and still think it's Sebastian Faulkes' best book. I was lucky enough to hear him speak at Hay-on-Wye about the research for Birdsong: he talked about visiting the archives and reading the letters which soldiers wrote home during WW1, and the letters the young officers had to write to the bereaved families .. it was fascinating. He is such a versatile writer.

I have Eat, Pray, Love in my pile of holiday books after the recommendations on here - not my usual choice but I'll let you know..
