This is a question Books

We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

I read the Da Vinci code and enjoyed it.
So long as you treat it as a piece of hokum and don't swallow the bullshit about it being full of trufax, then it's an OK book.

But I love thrillers anyway and have done for a long time. I must have read some of my favourites 10 times. Firefox, by Craig Thomas was one of them, as was Executive Orders by Tom Clancy.

I'm now a big fan of books by James Patterson, Harlen Coben, David Baldacci and Michael Connelly, among others and, while the literary critics may look down sniffily at such populist fare, I don't care because I enjoy reading them. I was a Grisham fan, but I think he's getting lazy now. And Tom Clancy's books are just getting silly now.

But now even better is that because I participate in the Amazon Vine programme I get some stuff for free, so long as I write a review after I've read it. I'm in hog heaven!
