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.

« Go Back

I once used a much loved copy of Arabian Sands
by Wilfred Thesiger, as bog paper on hols when the cheap backpacker's lodgings only put up a small economy roll every day in a place that was packed to the rafters with what seemed to be dysentery ridden students.

I hate destroying books and I replaced it as soon as I got home and have replaced it twice more as I've lent it out, never to be seen again.

I think what I'm saying here is that it's a very good read if you like your travel books to be gritty and real while also being soft and strong.
