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.

I've read that - I thought it was quite good.
You can tell the people who haven't read it because they just assume it's all "blah blah blah top gear blah blah I was driving so fast blah blah accident blah blah blah hospital blah blah I'm just brilliant me".
It's not, particularly. Obviously there is quite a lot of discussion of Top Gear and the rest of the the team (cast and crew), and indeed the jet dragster crash - these are, after all, the whole reason he had that accident.
Most of it is about the very slow and difficult process of recovering from a very severe brain injury, and will be horribly familiar to anyone who has had a friend or relative who has had a similar experience. It's well worth a read, even if you aren't particularly into Top Gear or the cult of celebrity around it.
