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.

Roald Dahl
This man was a literary genius! He gifted the world such gems as:

- The twits
- Danny the Champion of the world
- Charlie and the Chocolate factory
- James and the Giant Peach
- Fantastic Mr Fox
- The BFG

I don't think there is a person among you who hasn't read or seen something that has been written by this great author. As a child I would while away many countless hours with his imaginative and creative stories. If I have children one day I'm going to make sure they enjoy these books as much as I did. Even if that means they need to be locked away in a quiet room and beaten until they have finished every last page.

You should read Roald Dahl's non-children's books
He's very good.

I've read quite a few of them actually...
His short stories are superb. I love the one where the women kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then ends up cooking it and serving it to the cops investigating the murder.
