I don't know what my favourite book is..
There are so many to choose from: A dance to the music of time, The life of Pi, The unbearable lightness of bei...

Oh, fuck it. It's the Princess Bride.
This book is the surest cure for the blues I know. You can't stay down when you read it; your inner six-year old won't let you.

On the avoid side:

Jonathan Safran Foer. He may be clever, his books may be very inventive, but the man can't right a believable character for shit. He writes an nine year old child who's supposed to be coming to terms with losing his father on 9/11 as a neurotic New York twenty-something.

You've heard of books which really drag you into their world? Well, every time I read a book by Foer, I want to visit the world inside it, so I can methodically and meticulously punch every one of his characters right in his or her stupid face. Even the nine-year-old. Especially the nine-year-old.
