BooksWe 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.

Terry Nation & George LaytonInventor of the Daleks once wrote a children's book called Rebecca's World, in the 70's. It's a fabulous children's book which I bought a first edition hardback, and have used every year of my 36 years teaching in assemblies, serialising it and using passages for PSHE. It's amusing, well written and a classic.
I found out the other week that it's out of print and fetches loads second hand in good condition. Double result, but I wouldn't sell mine for all the tea in China.
George Layton, the actor, wrote a series of short stories about a nameless boy growing up, fatherless, in a nameless northern town, called The Fib. The stories are poignant, brilliantly written and laugh out loud funny!
