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.

My opinion is so incendiary that there is not fuel enough left on God's earth to create the flames I am going to create.
I can take or leave Terry Pratchett and I think Douglas Adams is alright. Sometimes I'm not really in the mood for Dickens, but I don't hate him.
What, you mean I'm so inflated with my own sense of self importance that I think my opinion on books may start a flame war when actually some people will agree with me, some won't and nobody really cares either way? Oh, I feel so foolish now.

If you are referring to my "prepares for flame war" comment
that was meant more as a reference to the rabidness of some Tolkein fans, rather than any suggestion about the importance of my opinions.

Partially, but you weren't the only one
and I just like a good moan every now and again.

Terry Pratchett is fine ...
once you realise that he has really just written the same book twenty eight (or whatever) times. Douglas Adams was good until he fell in love with his Apple Mac.
