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 tried
but I could not plow through anything by Margaret Atwood. The woman seems to have come by her knowledge of the human condition from second sources.

My militant feminist English teacher
tried to get us (an all-boy class) to read that. We kicked up a fuss for the entire first half of the term, and she switched us to something else. No idea if it was any good, but it certainly didn't grab me (mind you, I was only reading John Wyndham and Star Trek/Warhammer novels at the time, so I probably wasn't the intended audience).

The Blind Assassin I found very easy to read and also quite moving.
