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.

Don Quixote
Is brilliant (though I don't have sufficient mastery of Castillian to attempt it untranslated) but so very very long. I can't read more than a dozen pages at a time without my puny brain hurting. I would much rather have done that instead of effing Dickens at school.
I had the same problem with Crime and Punishment which I really enjoyed but took me forever to finish (and it isn't a long book!)
