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.

Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard BachIt's a bit of a weird one to describe without coming across as some sort of New Age Hippy but I'd recommend it to everyone without hesitation. It's a short book and if you see it in a bookshop or a library have a quick scan through and see if it floats your boat.
I've also got a soft spot for "To Kill a Mockingbird." I had to study it for English Lit but surprisingly it didn't destroy it for me. (It's also one of the few books where I'll recommend the film adaptation with Gregory Peck for those who don't read).
Others that spring to mind are "Good Omens", "Excession", "Rebecca" and "Moby Dick". An odd mix I do admit.

Yup - that's the one that changed me too.I've read all the Richard Bach books and this is the one I have re-read the most.
